Callen-Lorde Community Health Center announced the expansion of its Brooklyn facility by providing same-day appointments aimed at improving access to affirming healthcare for LGBTQ+ individuals. The center offers comprehensive services, including primary care, sexual health, HIV treatment, and more for all patients irrespective of insurance status. Amid increasing threats to LGBTQ+ healthcare access nationwide, the community health center emphasizes equitable and dignified care, enhancing patient convenience with a streamlined 'fast pass' system to facilitate in-clinic treatments.
"The LGBTQ+ community is going through a lot right now and it's really important that our community have access to safe and welcoming healthcare which is why it's so exciting that we are now able to offer same-day appointments," said Paula Ellison, director of Callen-Lorde Brooklyn.
As a nonprofit community health center, Callen-Lorde serves patients regardless of insurance status or ability to pay.
