Pine Street Community Room

Welcome to the Pine Street Family Health Center Community Room

A community room is available in the Institute for Family Health’s Pine Street Family Health Center located at 140 Pine Street in Kingston. As part of our mission, we strive to develop and sustain partnerships with community-based, faith-based and government organizations to address the critical clinical, social and economic needs of the communities we serve. As such, the community room is available for use free of charge to area not-for-profit organizations and service groups and to Ulster County-based community organizations, agencies and affinity groups for public meetings or scheduled programs and activities.
