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.
