Heath and Wellness
hvcs (Hudson Valley Community Services)
HVCS’ mission is to promote prevention and wellness for all people, to encourage life-affirming decisions maximizing their quality of life, and to coordinate care for those living with complex health conditions.
Healthy Orange is an initiative through the Orange County Department of Health that addresses three simple, but vital, issues of improved nutrition, increased physical activity and movement, and a tobacco-free lifestyle to improve the overall health of Orange County residents.
Farmers' Markets
Orange County Farmer's Markets
Municipal farmers markets throughout the county offer local fruits and vegetables as well as prepared foods, wine, honey, flowers, and everything from meats to quiche. Each market has its own individual character with unique offerings and vendors who take pride in their homegrown products.

The Health Hub Program helps people who use drugs from Dutchess, Orange and Sullivan counties reduce opioid use, prevent overdose and improve their general health and well being by providing low threshold access to buprenorphine. We connect clients to medical providers who can also offer crisis visits and relapse prevention. We also offer referrals to other services such as HIV, HCV and STD testing, case management, medical, mental health, substance use treatment and other support services.

Syringe Exchange Program via hvcs
HVCS’ Syringe Exchange Program (SEP) uses harm reduction methods to work with people who inject drugs to reduce their risk of contracting HIV, hepatitis C, and other bloodborne diseases. We are non-judgmental and provide a safe, discreet way to meet and offer our services. The SEP program is FREE and always anonymous. We use a mobile unit (a truck) on a regular schedule to blend into specific neighborhoods but remain accessible.
