Description:

Sun River Health (SRH) is a network of 43 Federally Qualified Health Centres (FQHCs) throughout the Hudson River Valley, New York City and Long island. SRH provides primary, dental, paediatric, OB-GYN, and behavioural health care to over 245,000 patients annually through its dedicated staff of 2,000 doctors, nurses, advanced practice providers (APPs) and other health care professionals to include social workers and other behavioural health practitioners. SRH prides itself on delivering high-quality, affordable care to those who need it most. Initially under the name Hudson River Healthcare, Sun River Health started in 1975 by four African American mothers who opened the first health centre in Peekskill, N.Y. to deliver accessible, high-quality, affordable services to patients in need – no matter their race, religion, income, or insurance status. Today, with the merger of Brightpoint Health and a new name to reflect the history and mission on both organizations, Sun River Health is still delivering on that promise to communities across throughout New York. Sun River Health is one of the largest FQHCs in the country and has a tradition of innovation and advocacy.

In concert with senior executives, the CMO will provide leadership and oversight around key strategic initiatives; deliver effective and efficient patient care in compliance with established clinical protocols; and act as a role model for all clinicians within Sun River Health. The CMO will also partner with SRH’s hospital affiliates to ensure continuity of care and will be a key contributor in the implementation of value-based care models with payors. A visible leader in the community advocating for decreasing health disparities and improving racial equity, the new CMO will represent SRH publicly in the local, state, and national arena.
