Community Healthcare Network (CHN) is a not-for-profit organization providing more than 65,000 New Yorkers with primary and behavioral healthcare, dental, nutrition, wellness, and needed support services.
Our network is made up of 14 federally qualified health centers throughout Brooklyn, the Bronx, Queens, and Manhattan, along with a fleet of mobile vans that bring health services to underserved people in need throughout New York City. We provide judgment-free, high-quality healthcare, without regard to race, religion, orientation, gender identity, immigration status or ability to pay. We turn no one away.
CHN provides excellent, affordable, culturally responsive, inclusive, affirming, and equitable healthcare and social services that center individuals, families, and communities. Working with diverse partners, CHN seeks to support the health and well-being of all.
CHN envisions a world in which all people have access to the care they need to live happy, healthy lives.
Community Healthcare Network (CHN) has served low-income and uninsured New Yorkers for over 30 years. In 1981, the Community Family Planning Council was founded. The goal was to make community-based health centers stronger. The clinics grew to include primary care, mental health and social services. In 1998 we changed our name to Community Healthcare Network. CHN has grown to help with community needs. These include teen pregnancy, AIDS, poverty, homelessness, and no access to healthcare.
