 Virginia Healthy Communities Loan Fund

The Healthy Communities Loan Fund (HCLF) is an initiative made available through a special partnership between BB&T, the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, and the Virginia Health Care Foundation.  HCLF offers low cost financing with underwriting flexibility to attract and retain primary care providers to health workforce shortage areas of Virginia.  This loan is available for pharmacists!

The VPhA Foundation is one of 16 HCLF Partner Organizations and is a member of HCLF’s Loan Advisory Group.  In this capacity, we approve loans to providers that meet HCLF programmatic criteria and market the loan opportunity to our membership.
