VCU Health doctors provide 24-hour, on-call care for Chesterfield Health Department prenatal clients. Spanish-speaking interpreters may be available at the Health Department. Chesterfield Health Department and VCU Medical Center provide maternity care for some HMO Medicaid programs. Fees are determined on a sliding scale based on income.
