History

In 1967, Ryan Health was established to meet the community's need for healthcare services on the Upper West Side of Manhattan. In 1977, it became an independent, community-controlled health center, and in 1978, was renamed in memory of its greatest advocate, U. S. Congressman William F. Ryan. During the next four decades, the health center continued to expand to meet the needs of its communities. Today, Ryan Health provides access to a wide range of high quality, affordable, health care services for almost 50,000 patients every year.

We remain committed to our founding principle, "Health care is a right, not a privilege."
