We provide high quality and affordable care to over 250,000 patients at 45 health center sites throughout NYC, the Hudson Valley, and Long Island. Our services include family medicine, pediatrics, women's health, geriatric care, dentistry, behavioral health, infectious disease, care management for patients living with HIV & Hepatitis C, patients that are combating substance use disorder, and patients with multiple chronic conditions. Our doors are open to all, regardless of insurance or immigration status, or ability to pay. The goal of Sun River Health's AmeriCorps Program is to create rewarding and impactful experiences for the member, the health center, and the community. Sun River Health aims to provide a broad range of opportunities to support various programs at multiple sites, both in person and virtually, based on need and site availability. Members that serve with Sun River Health acquire many technical skills during their service, and grow and learn in the public health field with increased knowledge on a variety of health topics and a deeper understanding of health care delivery operations. Sun River Health is partnered with CHCANYS AmeriCorps for its 2025-2026 Community Wellness Corps program.
