In March, 1981, Founder Verona Greenland opened the first Morris Heights Health Center (MHHC) site, with the assistance of a $25,000 Neighborhood Improvement grant on 70 West Burnside Avenue.

Lastly, MHHC is one of the first Federally Qualified Health Center (FQHC) in New York City to be accredited by the Joint Commission.

It first began as a childbearing and birthing center that served over 3,500 patients a year, and now handles a broader range of women's health issues.

It offers primary care, behavioral health and other supportive services in over 7,600 square feet of space.

Each includes a primary care provider, a social worker and a medical assistant, as well as a health educator and dentist in some locations.

Mari G. Millet serves as the President and Chief Executive Officer of Morris Heights Health Center.
