Overview

Mission

The mission of the Medical Care for Children Partnership Foundation is to provide access to comprehensive medical and dental care for uninsured children of working families living in Fairfax County, Virginia, who are at or below 250 percent of the federal poverty level.The Medical Care for Children Partnership (MCCP) is a program established in 1986 and administered by the Fairfax County Government (Fairfax County). In 2007, the Foundation was created to provide funding to support the MCCP program. The Foundation also provides vision and strategy for the program's sustainability and ensures funding for medical and dental care for eligible children.To achieve its mission, vision, and strategy, the Foundation has established collaborations and partnerships with numerous entities, considering the ever-changing needs of MCCP-eligible children and their families.

What it reported doing in 2024

The Foundation has an agreement with Fairfax County that laid the framework for the transition of the MCCP program and the initial transfer of assets totaling $2,997,799. For the past three years, Fairfax County has had over 3,300 children enrolled in the MCCP program. The Foundation operates as a public/private partnership, a model that enables each partner's contributions to be leveraged for the maximum possible benefit. In addition to children seen at no cost to their families at Kaiser Permanente, Inova Cares Clinics, and many other providers, the Foundation has provided medical and dental office visits for uninsured, eligible MCCP children of Fairfax County. Fairfax County determines eligibility for the MCCP program. The Foundation supports the county with outreach to help identify eligible children for referrals into the MCCP program at community events. The Foundation makes payments to doctors and dentists who provide services to MCCP program-eligible children at agreed-upon rates. Medical and dental care provided at no cost to families is considered a community health benefit and, therefore, a donation to Fairfax County, and is not included in the Foundation's financial statements. The Foundation also operates a mobile van that is used to perform dental screenings, cleanings, health screenings, provide food, educational resources, and other personal essentials, and to conduct outreach in the community. In December 2023, the Foundation opened a part-time free dental clinic in Annandale that provides dental screenings and further treatment as well. Following dental screening in the clinic or dental van, a child or family is provided with a further treatment plan and an appointment with a dentist in their community. By providing these programs, the Foundation takes the opportunity to distribute critical information about the social determinants of health to vulnerable communities in Fairfax County and to develop two-way communication to ensure their needs are being met in a timely manner.
