New York, NY: Seasonal allergies can cause sudden and uncomfortable symptoms, making it difficult to go about your day. That’s why the Charles B. Wang Community Health Center (CBWCHC) is making it easier than ever to get the care you need—right when you need it. With same-day appointments available at its Manhattan and Queens locations, CBWCHC offers timely, high-quality care with the personal attention of a trusted health care provider.
“Same-day care at our Health Center isn’t just for things like allergy flare-ups,” said Dr. Radeyah Hack, Deputy Chief Medical Officer at CBWCHC. “It’s also a great opportunity to check in with your care team, get ahead on preventive care, and stay on top of any chronic conditions—so you’re not just getting better today, but staying healthier in the long run.”
Same-day appointments are especially helpful for individuals experiencing allergy symptoms such as sneezing, itchy eyes, congestion, or asthma-related issues. Families can quickly secure appointments when they have non-emergency health concerns or need a checkup promptly.
CBWCHC’s same-day services are available at all clinical locations in Lower Manhattan and Flushing, Queens—helping patients access care close to home. These appointments are part of the Health Center’s commitment to removing barriers to care by offering language support, accepting most major insurance plans, and providing discounted fees based on family size and income. No one is turned away due to immigration history or ability to pay.
To schedule a same-day appointment, call 718-587-1200. For more information, visit www.cbwchc.org.

The Chinatown Health Clinic Foundation (CHCF) held its Annual Gala on Monday at Tribeca 360°, located in lower Manhattan. This year, CHCF and the Charles B. Wang Community Health Center (CBWCHC) held their gala in honor of Walter and Shirley Wang, who played an integral part in supporting expanded access to health care for Asian American immigrants and other vulnerable populations across New York City.
