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, our organization was established to address the lack of accessible health services in their community. Over the years, Sun River Health has expanded to become 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. We are committed to providing high-quality care to all individuals, regardless of their ability to pay. In December 2018, Sun River Health merged with Brightpoint Health to enhance integrated medical, behavioral, and social support services.
