Sun River Health has a rich history of 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 across the
Hudson Valley, New York City and Long Island. Our exceptional
primary care practitioners, specialists and support staff are
dedicated to delivering high-quality care to all individuals,
regardless of their ability to pay. In December 2018, Sun River
Health expanded its reach by merging with Brightpoint Health, an
FQHC network offering integrated medical, behavioral and social
support services in New York City. This merger allowed us to
enhance our services and continue our mission under the unified
name of Sun River Health. Our Culture At Sun River Health, we
