Medical Care for Children Partnership

strip of five photos showing a child receiving medical or dental care

The Medical Care for Children Partnership (MCCP) program connects children with a consistent medical doctor, a dentist and related healthcare services. MCCP wants children in Fairfax County to improve their health and well-being and realize their potential to learn, grow and thrive.

The program provides access to quality, comprehensive medical care and dental healthcare services to children aged 0-18, of low-income working families who could not otherwise access such services. MCCP is not health insurance.

MCCP is a collaboration between the Fairfax County Government, the MCCP Foundation, and the generous support of medical, dental and business communities.
