Port Jervis, New York – October 27, 2022 – Cornerstone Family Healthcare, a non-profit Federally Qualified Health Center, is pleased to announce the completion of a $6 million renovation of its Port Jervis community health center. The major renovation project began in 2020, with the goal to modernize and upgrade facilities, increase the number of services offered, improve patient comfort, and reflect the high regard that Cornerstone has for its patients.
Cornerstone Family Healthcare has been offering medical care and support services at 140 Hammond Street since 2017, at the site of the former Doctor’s Sunnyside Hospital. With the renovation project complete, Cornerstone is now able to offer a wide range of healthcare and support services at one convenient location, including: Family Medicine (Primary Care), Women’s Health-OB/GYN, Dental, Behavioral Health, Podiatry, Women, Infants & Children (WIC), and more.

Today, we fulfill that promise.”
To celebrate the completion of this project in Port Jervis, Cornerstone Family Healthcare hosted a Ribbon Cutting ceremony on Thursday, October 27, 2022. More than 100 guests gathered to share their personal memories of this historic Port Jervis site, tour the transformed space, and extend their best wishes for the future.
