About Sun River Health

Sun River Health was founded in the early 1970s by four African American women in Peekskill, New York, to address the lack of accessible health services in their community. With a small federal grant, the first site opened in 1975. Over the years, the organization has grown into a comprehensive Federally Qualified Health Center system with more than 45 locations, serving over 250,000 patients across the Hudson Valley, New York City and Long Island. 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.
