Wheeler's Health & Wellness Center team will have seven walk-in clinics available to assist with SNAP, SAGA, TANF, HUSKY and Access Healthcare.

Community-based organizations like Wheeler rely on the knowledge and passion of local citizens who serve as volunteers and leaders, making connections and guiding the institution. One of Wheeler’s longest-serving and dearest volunteers is Ed Lorenson. For more than four decades, he and the entire Lorenson family have been stalwart supporters of the mission, nearly from Wheeler’s very beginning.

A new in-district Collaborative Learning Program for Region 15 (Southbury/Middlebury) begins in August. Located at Pomperaug High School, the program serves high school-aged students with mental health and behavioral challenges and embeds a highly skilled Wheeler-trained and -supervised clinician to provide immediate access to intensive mental health and support throughout the school day.

Wheeler was recently designated as a Person-Centered Medical Home Plus (PCMH+) advanced network provider by upholding advanced standards of primary care.

A $2-million bond will help provide for structural enhancements and improvements at Wheeler’s Family Health & Wellness Center in Hartford.
