Protecting Medicaid Access Through Federal Changes

We joined Senator Richard Blumenthal, the Connecticut Department of Social Services, the Community Health Center Association of Connecticut, and others at our Susan Walkama Family Health & Wellness Center in Hartford last month as part of Senator Blumenthal’s efforts to highlight strategies to protect and expand access to Medicaid. In Connecticut, approximately 110,000 residents currently enrolled in HUSKY D are estimated to be at risk of losing their health insurance due to pending federal changes.

Our Mobile Family Health & Wellness Center in Action

At Wheeler, community health care means making sure patients can access the care they need, when and where they need it. Frequently, our Mobile Family Health & Wellness Center partnered with The Agape House in Bristol to provide primary care services directly in the community.

When a patient needed specialized testing to secure an emergency shelter bed, staff from our Bristol Family Health & Wellness Center quickly stepped in to deliver supplies and support. Moments like these reflect our commitment to teamwork and to meeting patients where they are.
