Every New Yorker deserves access to high-quality healthcare. The #340B program ensures safety-net providers, like Callen-Lorde, can continue to be there for everyone, always. We must #Protect340B to so that hospitals and clinics across the state can keep caring for the most vulnerable communities.

Today marks 78 years since the founding of the World Health Organization. To celebrate this #WorldHealthDay, we are reaffirming our commitment to serving the most vulnerable among us with accessible, quality and compassionate healthcare.

A look back...as we look forward to this year's #RainbowRun! ✨🌈 For the last ten years, Rainbow Run has brought our community together in the most powerful way: full of joy, energy and purpose. From every step on the course to every cheer from the sidelines, you help make it unforgettable.

What does #340B mean? It means being there for all patients, producing better outcomes and delivering a bigger impact for taxpayers. The 340B Program enables safety-net hospitals and clinics, like Callen-Lorde, to reduce drug costs for patients and reinvest in care, at NO COST to taxpayers.

This #STIAwarenessMonth we will be sharing everything you need to know about sexually transmitted infections (STIs) so you can feel confident in taking control of your own health.

You may have heard people saying ‘mpox is back,’ so let’s talk about what’s really going on. Starting in 2022, the U.S. and NYC experienced a large outbreak that affected the community we serve at Callen-Lorde. With the help of our community, the outbreak was brought under control.

We are thrilled to announce @drdemetre.bsky.social is our new Chief Medical Officer! He brings a wealth of experience to help guide Callen-Lorde through new clinical initiatives and challenges while remaining steadfast to our mission to care for our communities regardless of ability to pay.

Our very own Amanda Cary, Clinical Director of Sexual Health, spoke with @gaycitynews about what’s changed since the height of the outbreak, how our patients have navigated breakthrough cases and why prevention tools still matter. Read the full story at gaycitynews.com. 📰 📰
