More access to health experts in your community
Our Neighborhood Health initiative is designed to bring more health prevention services and support directly to the people and communities we serve. It’s part of Hartford HealthCare’s larger commitment to helping all people live their healthiest lives by providing more outreach and healthcare opportunities throughout Connecticut. Learn more >>
Here’s how it works
Our mobile “CareVans” visit and operate daytime health clinics at specifically chosen locations every week. They offer a variety of health services including screenings, mental health counseling, medical referrals, education and support. Pfizer bivalent boosters and several other non COVID immunizations are also available.
A partnership
Neighborhood Health was developed in collaboration with trusted community partners throughout the state. These groups and individuals helped determine the health needs and priorities for their residents and communities. These innovative health clinics will be adaptable, flexible, and open to feedback to ensure access to needed services and programs.
