The Health Collective is a Hartford, Connecticut-based non-profit focused on public health. Founded in 1983 as the Hartford Gay & Lesbian Health Collective, it serves individuals across diverse sexual orientations, gender identities and expressions by providing health and support services, education, and advocacy. The organization aims to empower these communities to pursue healthier lives through community-oriented programs and resources. In 2024, the group expanded its activities with partnerships to create scholarships for LGBTQ+ individuals, collaborating with the New Haven Pride Center and the Connecticut Gay and Lesbian Chamber Foundation. Later that year, it launched a free four-month training program in Hartford to prepare residents to work as community health workers, reflecting a focus on workforce development and local health outreach.
