CHCANYS Community Wellness Corps at Sun River Health

Sun River Health is a community health center with the mission to increase access to primary and preventive health care and to improve the health status of our community. We provide high quality and affordable care to over 250,000 patients at 45 health center sites throughout NYC, the Hudson Valley, and Long Island. Our services include family medicine, pediatrics, women's health, geriatric care, dentistry, behavioral health, infectious disease, care management for special population groups including patients living with HIV and Hepatitis C, patients that are combating substance use disorder, and patients with multiple chronic conditions. Our doors are open to all, regardless of insurance status, immigration status, or ability to pay for services. The goal of Sun River Health’s AmeriCorps Program is to create a rewarding and impactful experience for the member, the health center, the patients, and the community. In order to achieve this, Sun River Health aims to provide the member a broad range of opportunities to support various programs at multiple sites, both in person and virtually, based on need and site availability. Members that serve with Sun River Health acquire many technical skills during their service, and grow and learn in the public health field with increased knowledge on a variety of health topics and a much deeper understanding of health care delivery operationally. Sun River Health is partnered with CHCANYS AmeriCorps for its 2025-2026 Community Wellness Corps program. CHCANYS AmeriCorps at Sun River Health members receive a Living Allowance of $26,350 for a full-time 1700-hour position, in addition to other benefits including transportation expenses and health insurance. Members also receive extensive Public Health training and professional development and an Education Award of $7,395.00 at the successful completion of their term. The living allowance and education award are pro-rated for part-time terms.

Member Duties : The core duties of Members' service are dedicated to care management (scheduling appointments, referring patients for their medical and non-medical needs, etc.) and providing health education to patients and the community at-large. Members take on additional projects and opportunities to support various programs and departments based on need, availability, and the members' areas of interest. Examples include supporting food distributions, tabling at community events, and facilitating focus groups. While members are assigned to a specific site, their service often supports other health center sites in the Sun River Health network, whether in-person for nearby sites, or virtually for sites in other regions in the network. There are certain health services AmeriCorps members are prohibited from providing, which are outlined in detail during orientation.
