Wheeler Clinic has received Ambulatory Health Care accreditation and Primary Care Medical Home (PCMH) certification from the Joint Commission, the nation’s oldest and largest standards-setting and accrediting body in health care.

Wheeler’s Jessica Smith, LMFT, senior director, Adult Outpatient Services, and Stephanie Almada, peer recovery specialist, were part of an NBC 30 Connecticut story that aired last night about the opioid crisis and the suburbs and paths to treatment and recovery.

Connecticut’s Remembrance Quilt, an initiative of the Connecticut Department of Mental Health and Addiction Services, features hand-made squares created by family and friends who lost a loved one to a substance use disorder, including opioid addiction. Quilt events were held across Connecticut earlier this spring.
