New York Children’s Health Project

Medical Director: Sharon “PJ” Joseph, MD

Program Director: Michael Lambert, MBA

To launch the New York Children’s Health Project (NYCHP) in 1987, CHF created the first medical office on wheels. The NYCHP “Blue Van” made regular rounds of the city’s shelters, ensuring access to health care by bringing care to homeless children.

Today, NYCHP is among the nation’s largest providers of health care services to homeless children and families, offering an oasis of hope for New York’s neediest.

NYCHP’s fleet of mobile medical units follows a weekly schedule of stops at 13 locations across the city. Young patients, and their parents, in homeless and domestic-violence shelters, and runaway street youth in drop-in centers and residential facilities, find a “medical home” in caring relationships with our skilled and sensitive medical professionals.
