    I believe deeply in service to my community as an inherent responsibility. Supporting Wheeler as a trustee helps make the difference in thousands of CT lives."

  • "As a former employee of Wheeler Clinic (I worked 8 years in the Front Office at Northwest Village School) I understand the importance of providing quality services to underserved populations. Wheeler’s mission to provide equitable access to innovative care is an area that I feel strongly that many of the citizens of the state of Connecticut are still lacking access. I am excited to serve as a Board of Trustee for an organization whose mission it is to close those gaps."
