Callen-Lorde Community Health Center is a health care provider rooted in New York City, operating within the Hospitals and Health Care sector. Its origins trace back to volunteer-led clinics that offered safe, confidential sexual health and primary care regardless of ability to pay; these clinics merged in 1983 to form a community-based program that hosted the nation’s first community-based HIV clinic. The center delivers comprehensive care aimed at LGBTQ+ communities without judgment and with a focus on removing financial barriers to access. The organization is described as a global leader in LGBTQ+ healthcare and pursues research, advocacy, and education to drive improvements in health outcomes worldwide. Its work spans patient care, research, and education, reflecting a long-standing commitment to healthcare as a human right and to addressing the needs of its communities. Based in New York City, the center maintains a mid-sized workforce and continues its mission rooted in grassroots origins.
