For many non-urgent concerns, telehealth offers a simple and convenient way to stay on top of your care. Learn more on our website.

Now you don’t have to come to the health center to see your provider for non-urgent medical conditions. Innovative telehealth technology often called “virtual visits” uses the power of the internet to deliver a medical consultation directly to you!

Today is CHCANYS Advocacy Day!

It’s a big day for community health centers to share our story. Our CEO, Mary Zelazny, reflected on her 35+ year journey at Finger Lakes Community Health (FLCH). She began as a community health worker helping farmworkers get access to care.

Today, FLCH has 8 health centers and serves nearly 30,000 patients.

Mary says she’s most proud of the dedicated staff who put patients first every day. Today, community health centers are meeting with state legislators to share our story and ask for their support. Community Health Care Association of NYS
