Our dedicated and talented team of nearly 400 offers medical, dental, behavioral health, and vision care as well as laboratory, X-ray, pharmacy, social work, health education, WIC, and care management services to 42,000 people each year. As a Community and Migrant Health Center, nearly 90% of our patients live at or below 200% of the federal poverty level; 53% have Medicaid, 27% are uninsured, and 7% have Medicare. Sunrise also serves a diverse patient population, including 72% from racial and ethnic minorities (63% Hispanic/Latino) and 43% who are best served in a language other than English.

Sunrise is dedicated to developing the next generation of health care workforce. As a recognized leader in education health center activities, we offer 20,000 hours of education each year to students of all disciplines - physicians, dentists, physician assistants, nurses and nurse practitioners, medical assistants, social workers, and high school students who are just beginning to explore healthcare as a possible career.

Sunrise strategically designs community collaborations to connect resources and care to serve the whole person in a coordinated, efficient, and economical manner. Our innovative partnerships reach across the spectrum of care to include behavioral health, public health, hospital systems, specialists, and homeless services, as well as community-based care navigation and care management.

As a Federally Qualified Health Center (FQHC), we provide services regardless of a patient's ability to pay by screening patients for eligibility for public funded programs or private insurance and by offering a sliding fee scale and payment plans.
