Hartford gay and lesbian health collective

As the Hartford Gay and Lesbian Health Collective celebrates its 40 th anniversary on Monday, it is also transforming under new leadership. The new executive director and medical director are just a few months on the job. Among the changes they are bringing is a new name: now simply The Health Collective.

The health services organization has a four-decade history of advocacy and meetings with state lawmakers. Each year, they hold a Queer Prom and most recently a 40 th anniversary bash. Get top local Connecticut stories delivered to you every morning with the News Headlines newsletter.
