Outreach
Our practice is committed to providing time, expertise, and financial support locally and internationally. As a practice, we contribute to several area schools, Martha Jefferson Hospital Foundation and Marianne’s Room, Camp Holiday Trails, Muscular Dystrophy Association, Service Dogs of Virginia, among others. On an individual basis, our employees volunteer their time and financial support to the Charlottesville Free Clinic, area rescue squads, and Toy Lift, as well as local churches, schools, and athletic leagues.
Internationally, our practice contributes to orphanages and organizations touching the lives of children in China and beyond, including Love Without Boundaries, Bringing Hope to Children, and Half the Sky Foundation.
​
Love without Boundaries
Love Without Boundaries began in 2003 after a group of adoptive parents came together to help save the life of one tiny boy in China. Learn more about how LWB is touching the lives of thousands of children.
Half the Sky Foundation
Half the Sky was created in order to enrich the lives and enhance the prospects for orphaned children in China. They establish and operate infant nurture and preschool programs, provide personalized learning for older children and establish loving permanent foster care and guidance for children with disabilities. It is their goal to ensure that every orphaned child has a caring adult in her life and a chance at a bright future.
​
Bringing Hope to Children
Bringing Hope To Children is the assistance and fund-raising arm of International Assistance and Adoption Project (IAAP); established to provide support for IAAP's two foster care centers in China.
​
Service Dogs of Virginia
SDA serves clients with special needs residing in the Commonwealth of Virginia, and is based in Charlottesville, VA.
​
Camp Holiday Trails
Camp Holiday Trails is a caring community committed to empowering, encouraging and educating campers with chronic illnesses, their families and healthcare professionals.
Mission to Give
To expand our outreach program, we formed "Mission to Give." This program encourages staff from Albemarle Dermatology Associates and Signature Medical Spa to nominate a charity or worthy cause for a donation each month.
