Investing in primary care means healthier communities, lower costs, and better outcomes for everyone.

Research shows that an increase of one primary care physician per 10,000 people can generate 11% fewer hospital visits, 7% fewer surgeries, and 5.5% fewer emergency department visits.

The Primary Care Investment Act (S1634/A1915A) will help New York make this critical investment.

Ann Marie knows what it means to count on a community health center. She counted on her health center as a child. Today, her children, grandchildren, friends,
and family count on it too. She believes in it so deeply that now, she works there.
Her story is personal, but it’s also shared by more than 2.5 million New Yorkers who
count on community health centers for care close to home.

Albany must do more. Invest $300 million in community health centers.

Thank you to our partners Feeding Westchester and Anthem Health for joining us on Wednesday, March 25, 2026 at WCHC Mount Vernon for our Eat Well Live Well Information Session in honor of National Nutrition Month!

Together, we share a deep belief that good nutrition is the foundation of good health especially for those managing diabetes, high blood pressure, and high cholesterol. Last Wednesday’s food demo, health education, and patient conversations were a reminder of what a great community partnership can do.

At WCHC, nutrition isn't an afterthought — it's central to how we care for our patients, every day.
