About the Hartford HealthCare’s Neighborhood Health Program
Hartford HealthCare’s Neighborhood Health initiative is designed to bring more preventive healthcare 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.
Services are tailored to the needs of each community. A basic menu includes primary care wellness exams; behavioral health screening and counseling; preventative screenings; and staff connecting patients to community services, primary care providers, specialty care providers, and follow-up care. Additional services are offered on a rotating basis depending on the need, which include but are not limited to nutritional counseling; diabetic counseling; COVID-19 testing and vaccination; women’s health services such as prenatal/post-partum education and lactation support; men’s health; and Hartford Hospital’s Mobile Mammography coach. Hartford HealthCare colleagues set up Neighborhood Health clinics within facilities provided by community organizations, and utilize patient vans to provide services in locations where there is no indoor space.
Funds raised from the 2022 Spring Into Action will go toward Neighborhood Health will to promote health equity and provide high level care that is safe and timely to patients regardless of insurance, socioeconomic status, ability to pay, race or gender.
