What people say about us

Maria, Healthy Start Program Member

“When the pandemic started, I lost my job and my husband was the only one working. We had to make ends meet and I was so worried about the expenses of a new baby. Rhea connected us with resources for food and baby items, like the new program that BCHN partnered with to assist families with diapers. It has been a huge help for my family, and I am very grateful for Rhea and the program.”

Janet, BCHN Community Health Worker

“A grandmother with three grandkids was facing food insecurity. We helped her apply for SNAP benefits. I learned she was paying $1,000 a month for rent in public housing and her monthly income was only $900. We were able to get her rent reduced and help her catch up on her utility bills.”

Invest in access to high-quality healthcare in our community.
Many FQHCs in New York City and across the country cultivate philanthropic investment to bring a broader range of programs and health care services than federal grants and fees for patient services allow for.
Philanthropy opens the door to improving the organization’s core capacity, acquiring much-needed equipment, expanding preventive services, hiring doctors and nurses, enabling greater community outreach through our Community Health Workers, & so much more.
