Founded in 1996 to ensure that the socio-economically depressed and medically underserved residents of the Bronx have access to high-quality and comprehensive healthcare services, Bronx Community Health Network (BCHN) is a not-for-profit, community-based organization and Federally Qualified Health Center. The organization has a sub-recipient agreement with Montefiore Medical Group to provide a wide range of comprehensive, coordinated primary medical, oral, and mental health care and related diagnostic, pharmacy, social support, and enabling services for medically underserved/uninsured residents. BCHN’s approved scope includes 9 Montefiore community health centers and 9 school-based health centers. In early 2023, BCHN will launch construction on its own community health center with an array of services. This addition is strategically placing BCHN on a new pathway – the direct delivery of primary care.

BCHN’s mission is to: improve the health of people and families in the Bronx; provide access to affordable, quality health care, especially for uninsured persons; promote disease prevention, early treatment and healthful lifestyles; and obtain financial and other resources for programs and services.

BCHN’s service area includes the entire borough of the Bronx, including all 25 ZIP codes. Within this area, Health Center sites focus on the low-income and underserved populations.
