Operated by the Fredericksburg Area Regional Health Council

Our History and Mission.

The Moss Free Clinic, which opened on November 2, 1993, began as a grass-roots effort to provide basic health care to people who are not eligible for government assistance, who do not have health insurance, and who fall within designated federal poverty guidelines.

The Clinic is sponsored by the Fredericksburg Area Regional Health Council, Inc., an outgrowth of a committee established by the Fredericksburg Area Medical Society in November 1991. The committee was created to assess the district's primary health needs and develop a cost-effective plan to meet those needs.

The Council is a private, nonprofit, 501(c) (3) corporation, consisting of volunteer directors, which include health professionals and lay citizens representing a wide range of occupations and interests.

As a project of the Council, the Moss Free Clinic's mission is to:

Provide free of charge, nondiscriminatory, quality health care services to the medically indigent residents throughout the jurisdictions of Caroline, Fredericksburg, King George, Spotsylvania, and Stafford (also called Planning District 16)

The Clinic puts particular emphasis on prevention and individual patient education, as well as providing early intervention, to prevent and/or treat illness and disease.

Our Namesake. Lloyd F. Moss, Sr., MD back to top

In 1994, just a year after the Clinic opened, Dr. James Shield, then-president of the Medical Society of Virginia, presented the Wyeth-Ayerst Physician Award for Community Service to Dr. Moss at the MSV's annual meeting. In doing so, Dr. Shield said Dr. Moss was being honored because "he exemplifies one of the finest things that a physician can do and he has done it exceptionally well. He has been a leader in Virginia in something that we are extremely proud of - the free clinic movement".

A graduate of Hampden-Sydney College and the Medical College of Virginia, Dr. Moss served the U. S. Army from 1941-46, attaining the rank of major. He worked at McGuire VA Hospital until February 1948 and at Children's Hospital in Boston until June of that year. At the age of 33, he entered private practice and continued to practice medicine for 41 years. He retired in 1989.

Dr. Moss, who was born and raised in Fredericksburg, died on August 28, 2006 at age 90.
