StartCare was honored to recently receive the Community Impact Award at the Black Health Holiday Awards.

For 56 years, we have remained committed to community-centered, holistic healthcare and expanding access across New York City. Being recognized for this work is deeply meaningful to our team and the communities we serve. Thank you!

Congratulations to all of this year’s honorees. It’s an honor to be recognized alongside such impactful changemakers.

Human rights live in the everyday essentials: the food we share, the care we provide, and the dignity we protect. At StartCare, we honor this belief by expanding opportunities to provide our participants with access to food and holistic healthcare.

One example is our annual Thanksgiving meals, where every clinic is supplied with hot, nourishing food during a season when many of our most vulnerable community members are often overlooked. This year, we’re especially grateful to Uber for helping make this possible through their generous sponsorship and commitment to community care.

It’s been four years since we lost Michael Kenneth Williams, but his light still leads the way.

In this special conversation, Dr. David J. Johns, Dominic Dupont, and Jonnel C. Doris of StartCare reflect on his legacy of truth, healing, and advocacy and the ongoing fight for mental health equity in Black communities.

This is a call to act, to heal, and to keep talking!
