Charles B. Wang Community Health Center
The Charles B. Wang Community Health Center (CBWCHC), founded in 1971, is a nonprofit organization and Federally Qualified Health Center. The center provides primary healthcare to members of the community. There are locations in Lower Manhattan and Flushing, Queens, all which are opened 7 days a week. In 2013, the center served more than 47,000 patients and 250,000 visits. The center has multilingual staff fluent in Mandarin, Cantonese, Taishanese, Shanghainese, Fujianese, Vietnamese, and Korean.
==History==
CBWCHC started in 1971 as the very first Chinatown Health Fair by a group of volunteers, providing health education and screenings to the medically underserved Chinese community in New York City.
As the fair grew, donations funded the expansion to a new location at 89 Baxter Street in 1979. With this new location, more patients were being seen and treated. This new location was opened seven days a week with a full staff of doctors and nurses. Now with a stable structure, patients were able to return for check-ups and continual care.
In the year of 1989, Congress had passed the Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act, which brought about Federally Qualified Health Centers (FQHC). This allowed qualified health centers to fully cover the cost of treating uninsured patients. With this Public Health Service Act, the Health Center was more capable of providing care to a larger scope of the community.
