In 1970, the Rushville Health Center opened in response to a growing need of underserved groups who had little to no access to primary care.  The Center served the surrounding communities of Geneva, Canandaigua, and Penn Yan.  Rushville Health Center boasts a rich history. It was:

Started by volunteers who ran the health center out of a small house six months out of the year

 - All supplies and equipment were donated for the first few years

 - Able to remain open year round in its fifth year of operation

 - A source of free care for low-income families until 1982 when it began billing for services and seeing anybody who needed care

 - Moved to its current location in 1996 after the community raised $600,000 for the cause

 - Where a large migrant population received care for many years
