The Medical Care for Children Partnership (MCCP) Foundation is an award-winning, nationally recognized, and innovative public/private partnership model that has worked to improve health outcomes for vulnerable children living in Fairfax County for over 35 years. The mission of the MCCP Foundation is to provide access to quality, comprehensive medical and oral health care services to low-income, uninsured children, aged 0-19, of working families who cannot otherwise access a medical and dental home. Originally operating as part of the Fairfax County government, the MCCP Foundation incorporated as an independent 501(c)3 organization in 2009. In 2014, the Foundation responded to an identified community need by adding dental care and oral health education to its included services. Providing access to comprehensive health care is critical to strengthening the overall health of the community. Poor dental health is a serious public health concern for children and can have a dramatic impact on their quality of life. Current efforts, therefore, focus on broadening the Foundation’s scope of methods for providing dental services, as well as expanding the number of children that the Foundation serves. The MCCP Foundation provides these services through collaboration with community partners, leveraging resources, fundraising, tackling deeply rooted issues, pushing for new solutions, and harnessing the transformative power of selfless generosity in our community.
