Community Health Centers - Leaders in Connecticut's Health Care


Each year, more than 28 million individuals receive care in community health centers like Wheeler...one in 12 Americans!

The complete, whole-person care delivered by health centers improves health outcomes and addresses some of the most pressing issues in health care today like: access to affordable care; treatment for substance use disorders and chronic diseases like diabetes and high blood pressure; equity and injustice; and much more. Community health centers:

  • Expand access to health care
  • Provide high-quality care
  • Reduce health disparities
  • Provide cost-effective health care

Wheeler's four Family Health & Wellness Centers:

...are providing truly integrated primary and behavioral health care to tens of thousands of Connecticut residents every year, along with vital services like nutrition counseling, alternative approaches to pain management, connections to community services, public outreach, and much more.

August 9–15 is National Health Center Week, and we'll spend this week sharing how the work we do at our federally qualified health centers keeps children healthy, provides support that help to address the social determinants of health, improves access to behavioral health, and much more!
