Community Health Centers in New York

New York's community health centers are part of the national network of roughly 1,400 HRSA-funded Section 330 grantees that served more than 30 million patients in 2023. Every center on this page is legally required to accept patients regardless of insurance status or ability to pay, and to offer a sliding-fee discount based on household income.

For Black patients in New York, FQHCs fill a critical gap left by commercial primary care: they staff Medicaid navigators, run in-house 340B pharmacies, provide on-site dental and behavioral health care, and offer enabling services like transportation and translation. Many New York centers specialize in serving historically underserved Black communities and have Black-majority clinical staff.
