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.

Our Culture
At Sun River Health, we believe in fostering a culture of wellness and recognition. Our Workforce Wellness Program promotes staff wellness through ongoing challenges and activities, encouraging participation and rewarding engagement. We celebrate our staff's dedication and person-centered spirit through the Planetree Recognition Awards, which honor innovation, leadership, and community spirit. We are committed to creating a supportive and collaborative work environment where all team members can thrive.
