Sun River Health provides the highest quality of comprehensive primary, preventive, and behavioral health services to all individuals, regardless of insurance status or ability to pay, with a special focus on underserved and vulnerable populations. We are a Federally Qualified Health Center (FQHC) that serves communities across the Hudson Valley, New York City, and Long Island, offering integrated services that include primary care, dental, behavioral health, and social support services. Founded in the early 1970s by four African American women in Peekskill, New York, Sun River Health was established to address the lack of accessible healthcare 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, the organization has grown into a comprehensive FQHC system with over 45 locations, serving more than 250,000 patients across our service area. In December 2018, we expanded our reach through a merger with Brightpoint Health, an FQHC network providing integrated services in New York City, enabling us to further enhance our ability to deliver patient-centered care to a diverse population. Our mission is to provide high-quality, accessible, and affordable care to all, and our vision is to create healthier communities by improving the lives of individuals who need us most. Sun River Health is seeking a Nurse Practitioner (NP) for a per-diem position at our Fountain House location in New York City.
