The Charles B. Wang Community Health Center (“the Health Center”) was founded in 1971 as a volunteer-run free clinic that has since evolved into a Federally Qualified Health Center and Level III Patient Centered Medical Home. The Health Center provides high quality, affordable, and culturally competent health care services to the Asian American community in 5 locations in New York City – 3 sites in Manhattan’s historic Chinatown and 2 sites in Flushing, Queens. The majority of the Health Center’s patients are low-income, limited English proficient, Asian Americans with limited options for accessing affordable, culturally competent healthcare.
