Invest In Wellness For All

Your investment in our Family Health & Wellness Centers helps provide more of Connecticut with available, accessible, effective care, directly impacting health outcomes.

INVEST IN IMPACT: Integrated services for Bristol individuals  
and families

Our new center at One Hope Street will ensure that all Wheeler services are located in one building, providing a better patient experience and for an array of on-site services and reach for at-risk community members who have limited access to care. We know, for instance, that nutrition is vital to overall health and reducing chronic disease, and we know that ensuring families have accessible care improves health outcomes for the whole family.

Bristol was Wheeler’s first community health center site in 2013, and today we serve thousands of Bristol residents at our centers, as well as students in every Bristol Public School. The future is bright in Bristol, and we’re committed to a more equitable, healthier future for everyone in the city!

LATEST NEWS ABOUT ONE HOPE STREET, BRISTOL

INVEST IN IMPACT: Keep New Britain families healthier

Our new Family Health & Wellness Center at 40 Hart Street in New Britain serves one of Connecticut’s poorest communities.  Wheeler has provided care to the Hardware City since 1991, and this expansion brings a new, fully integrated, expanded continuum of care, including OB-GYN services, pediatrics, and behavioral health for all ages.

  • The service area is a mental health, primary care, and dental Health Professional Shortage Area and includes federally designated medically underserved populations.
  • Only 48.84% of the low-income population in the city are currently connected to a health center. That means that 23,704 people in the community don’t currently have access to care.
  • Only 35% of New Britain households had adequate income, compared to 60% statewide.
  • Chronic disease is prevalent in the city, varying widely by zip codes, indicating a dramatic level of health disparities among residents:
    • Diabetes (7.8%–14.1%)
    • High blood pressure (21.8%–43.9%)
    • Obesity (21.8%–29.5%)

Wheeler will expand services in New Britain, and your investment provides equipment, programming, and innovative “seed funding” for our staff to create new approaches to address chronic health disparities.

  • Pediatrics
  • OB-GYN
  • Medication-Assisted Treatment for addiction
  • Behavioral health for all ages
