started in 1975 when four African American mothers spearheaded efforts to open
our first health center in Peekskill, New York to deliver accessible,

religion, income, or insurance status. Today, after 45 years of service, Sun
River Health is still delivering on that promise to communities across the
Hudson Valley, New York City, and Long Island.

About Sun River Health

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.
