Access Now
Access Now is a
community partnership initiated by the Richmond Academy of Medicine in
2008 to improve access to specialty health care for low-income,
uninsured residents of the greater Richmond metropolitan area. The program
connects the primary care received in a local clinic or health system with
donated physician specialty care in a coordinated referral program.
