Healthy East Harlem Open House | Center for Comprehensive Health Practice

In March 2026, we hosted our first-ever Healthy East Harlem Open House this spring! We were proud to welcome our neighbors into CCHP so they can see firsthand the comprehensive care we provide to the community. ☀️🎉🫀🏥 All of our departments and programs were represented along the journey, showcasing all of the different services we provide. We connected with more than 60 families that day, most of whom were meeting us for the very first time. During the event: Our medical team provided hundreds of free medical services 🩺 Our behavioral health team provided dozens of overdose prevention trainings, and handed out over 30 lifesaving Narcan kits 🛟 Our patient navigators spoke to over 30 members of our community to connect them to social services like housing, food, and transportation, through the Social Care Network 🏘️ We hosted over a dozen of our community partners and funders who support the work we do 🤝 And had a good time along the way! 🎊 As Nilsa Orama, CCHP patient and board member said during the event, “if you want someone who really cares about you, and actually makes it worthwhile to take care of your health, this is the place to be.” Special thank you to our sponsors for this event: Coffee Uplifts People (CUP) Gilead Sciences, Inc.
