Anchor Health

Welcome to Anchor Health’s 2023 #Wrapped! We’re so back. 😮💨 In 2023, we cared for 2,300 patients, who made 9,033 visits. We now serve over 3,766 total patients across our health centers in Hamden and Stamford, CT. 🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️ We administered 5,459 HIV and STI tests, 281 mpox vaccines, and 454 COVID-19 vaccines. It’s giving healthy AF. 🫦 Hold up, there’s someone on the line… it’s Anchor Health Pharmacy! Over the last year, our pharmacy served 1,764 patients, and they filled 39,075 prescriptions. 💊 Through our Case Management Program, we have assisted 790 clients with 646 mental health requests and 348 name and gender marker changes in 2023. The program has helped 1,550 clients since it launched in 2020. 👥 Let’s not forget the events that truly mothered this year, from Pride festivals to sexual health fairs. 🥳 That was fun! Thanks for spending 2023 with us. Same time next year? 🤭✌️ Image description: A series of digital illustrations with text repeating from the caption.

Anchor Health is proud to support the 34th anniversary of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) this #NationalDisabilityIndependenceDay. Every July 26, we celebrate this important civil rights law that works to ensure all people with disabilities have the same rights and opportunities as everyone else.  As we commemorate the ADA’s legacy, we must also acknowledge that collective liberation is impossible in an inaccessible world. Today is a reminder of the ongoing fight for accessibility and inclusion for people with disabilities, both visible and invisible. Uplifting and including disabled people is the only path forward.

Text reads, “Celebrating National Disability Independence Day! July 26.” The Anchor symbol is in the bottom right corner. 🎨: @ghoulsxool on Instagram

Happy Fourth of July! 🎆 Our health centers and pharmacy will be closed on Thursday, July 4, in observance of Independence Day. Regular hours will resume on Friday, July 5. Have a safe holiday!⁠ Image text repeated from caption.

Our health centers will be closed on Wednesday, June 19, in observance of Juneteenth. We’ll resume regular hours on Thursday, June 20. Our pharmacy will remain open. Juneteenth commemorates the events of June 19, 1865, when Union General Gordon Granger read a proclamation that all enslaved Black Americans in Texas were finally to be set free. Juneteenth emphasizes education, reflection, and restoration. We encourage you to use this time to educate yourself about the systemic racism and structural barriers that impact Black people in wealth, health care, the criminal justice system, housing, education, and more.
