Who we are

Established in 1986, the Beach Health Clinic is a 501C3 organization that provides quality comprehensive health and dental care to the residents of Virginia Beach that are under 200% of the federal poverty level.

With only two full time and several part time employees, the clinic is better able to direct donations directly to patient services. We thank our dedicated volunteers who give so unselfishly to the mission of providing quality care to the uninsured.

Martin Freedman

In 1968 Martin Freedman was part of the last graduating class of the Medical College of Virginia School of Pharmacy. After years of working in chain pharmacies he founded Ghent Pharmacy, Inc. in the City of Norfolk in 1986. The twenty-three years of being both owner and operator of Ghent Pharmacy were the most rewarding because of the opportunity to counsel customers and to help multiple generations of the same families over the years. Marty has served in different roles that included professional legal witness, pharmacy technician instructor at Norfolk State University, immunizing pharmacist and member of the Professional Advisory Committee of the Tidewater Multiple Sclerosis Society.

Marty has a strong sense of the importance of giving back to the community. He was active with the Boy Scouts of America and supported his two sons as they reached the rank of Eagle Scout. He has served as a volunteer on four medical mission trips to the Dominican Republic and is involved with Jewish Family Service.

Since 2010 he has been the pharmacist in charge at BHC and has served as a preceptor for pharmacy students at the clinic, where he ensures the development of the pharmacy program and maintains the consistency and safety of the pharmaceuticals.
Marty has been married for 48 years to Judy and enjoys the time with his 5 grandchildren.
