Year 1999

     The Center initiated a project to expand its services in Manhattan's Chinatown in response to the dramatic population increase in the Asian American community in New York City during the past decade.  Through the generosity of many individual and corporate supports, the Center was able to raise enough funds to renovate three floors of a building located on Canal Street, the main thoroughfare in Chinatown.  In recognition of a major donor, the Center changed its name from Chinatown Health Clinic to the Charles B. Wang Community Health Center.
