providing quality, affordable health care to communities in need.
Founded in the early 1970s by four African American women in
Peekskill, New York, the organization was established to address
the lack of accessible health services in their community. With the
help of a small federal grant, the first Sun River Health site
opened its doors in 1975. Over the years, Sun River Health has
grown into a comprehensive Federally Qualified Health Center (FQHC)
system with over 45 locations, serving more than 250,000 patients
