Bronx Community Health Network

What Bronx Community Health Network does

Bronx Community Health Network (BCHN) is a nonprofit Federally Qualified Health Center (FQHC) founded in 1997 and headquartered at 1 Fordham Plaza in the Bronx, New York. The organization provides primary medical care, dental, behavioral health, women's health, nutrition, pharmacy, laboratory, chronic disease management, and telehealth services to Bronx residents, supplemented by community outreach, social needs screenings, and school-based health centers in K-12 schools. In 2025 BCHN reported 112,436 patients served and 358,707 total patient visits across its network of community- and school-based sites.

BCHN operates a community-led go-to-market model, distributing services regardless of ability to pay via sliding-scale fees, and is supported by HRSA federal grants, patient service revenue, and charitable donations. Its technology stack centers on athenahealth for patient and provider portals, with planned additions including a patient-facing mobile app, remote blood pressure and glucose monitoring, and closed-loop social-needs referral tracking as part of its 2026 Care Access Expansion Initiative. The organization is governed independently with no identified parent company, PE/VC investment, or institutional investor backing.

Strategically, BCHN is deepening its footprint through a partnership with Services for the UnderServed (S:US) to open the BCHN Macombs Road Wellness Center at the Starhill redevelopment in Morris Heights (expected December 2026 / January 2027), integrating housing, health care, and community-based support at one site. Additional partnerships with major area hospitals and the National Association of Community Health Centers (NACHC) support whole-person care delivery and policy advocacy. No acquisitions, funding rounds, or revenue figures are disclosed.
