| A group of volunteers organized the Chinatown Health Fair, the first health fair ever held in Chinatown. Following the tremendous community response to the 10-day event, the volunteers worked together to establish a program that could meet the community's needs for affordable and accessible healthcare services. Known then as the Chinatown Health Clinic, the Center opened its doors to the community in the fall of 1971, operating out of space donated by the Espiscopal Church of our Savior located at 48 Henry Street. During the next six years, volunteer doctors, nurses, social workers, students and others provided free services two evenings each week and on Sunday afternoons. |
