Dear Friends, Supporters and Community Members,
We are proud to present our 2012 Annual Report. Here you will find the
latest information about Callen-Lorde, New York City’s only licensed
healthcare facility dedicated to meeting the needs of LGBT people and
those living with HIV/AIDS. Callen-Lorde welcomes all who seek our
services, regardless of any patient’s ability to pay.
As you look through these pages, you’ll notice how much we’ve grown
over the last year. We are proud to serve more people than ever with
our primary care, dental, mental health, gynecological, case
management, pharmacy, and health education services.
In these difficult times, when more New Yorkers are in need of
affordable, quality healthcare, Callen-Lorde is more vital than ever, and
we remain committed to providing the world-class model of quality care
that our patients have come to expect.
Jay Laudato
Executive Director
Dear Friends,
For over 40 years, Callen-Lorde has provided a safe, welcoming haven for literally tens of
thousands of LGBT New Yorkers. When this visionary organization first opened its doors, it
was a tiny volunteer-driven clinic serving mostly gay men who were experiencing
discrimination and hostility in mainstream healthcare settings. Today, Callen-Lorde expands
on this tradition and serves as a model for other healthcare providers across the country and
around the world.
As co-chairs of Callen-Lorde’s Board of Directors, we have helped guide this organization—
but we cannot do this without you. Please review this report and get involved with CallenLorde as a supporter, as a donor, as a volunteer, or maybe even as a board member. We
think you will agree with us that Callen-Lorde is an asset our community can be proud of and
cannot do without.
Karen Sauivgne
Co-Chair, Board of Directors

3 What is Callen-Lorde?
Callen-Lorde is New York City’s only
community health center dedicated
to meeting the healthcare needs of
lesbian, gay, bisexual, and
transgender (LGBT) people and
those living with HIV/AIDS,
regardless of any patient’s ability to
pay. For over 40 years, we have
welcomed all, regardless of sexual
orientation or gender identity, who
otherwise lack access to respectful,
empowering, and informed primary
healthcare services. We
continuously strive to create an
environment that affirms humanity
and individuality and inspires people to realize their own health and wellness.
Our Mission
Callen-Lorde Community Health Center provides sensitive, quality health care and related services
primarily to New York's lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender communities—in all their diversity—
regardless of ability to pay. To further this mission, Callen-Lorde promotes health education and
wellness and advocates for gay, lesbian,
bisexual, and transgender health issues.
Our Licensure
Callen-Lorde is licensed by the New York State
Department of Health as a Diagnostic and
Treatment Center to provide comprehensive
outpatient medical services including a full
oral health clinic; pharmacy accredited by the
NYS Department of Education; and most
recently, Article 31 licensure for Outpatient
Adult and Adolescent Mental Health
Treatment by the Office of Mental Health .
Callen-Lorde is designated by the federal
Health Resources and Services Administration
as a Federally Qualified Health Center (FQHC)
and is recognized as a level III PatientCentered Medical home by the National
Committee for Quality Assurance.

Our History
Callen-Lorde's grassroots heritage dates back over 40 years to the volunteer-based St. Mark's
Community Clinic, founded in 1969 to provide screening and treatment for sexually-transmitted
infections. In 1983, St. Mark’s merged with the Gay Men's Health Project to form Community Health
Project, a mostly volunteer-staffed, episodic care program housing the nation's first community-based
HIV clinic.
In 1998, Community Health Project changed its name to Callen-Lorde Community Health Center and
moved into a modern, state-of-the-art facility in Manhattan’s Chelsea district. In 2002, Callen-Lorde
became a Federally Qualified Health Center, a historic recognition by federal health agencies of the
importance of improving health disparities faced by LGBT persons. Over the last decade Callen-Lorde
has continued to grow and add new programs, including a dental clinic, mental health services, and
an on-site pharmacy—and it remains the New York metropolitan area’s only healthcare facility
Michael Callen
(1955-1993)
Audre Lorde
(1934-1992)
Michael Callen was born in Rising Sun,
Indiana, and began his career as a successful
composer and singer. In 1982, he was
diagnosed with AIDS (then known as GayRelated Immune Deficiency) and quickly
became a leader in the response to the
growing epidemic. In 1985, he became a
founding member of the People with AIDS
Coalition, the first organization to spring from
the AIDS Self-Empowerment movement. As
an leading authority in the community,
Michael was called to testify before the
President’s Commission on AIDS and both
houses of the United States Congress. In
1990, Michael chronicled the stories of longterm survivors in his book Surviving AIDS.
Michael continued his work in the community
and in music until his death at age 38. He is
survived by his partner, Richard Dworkin.
The daughter of Caribbean immigrants, Audre
Lorde was born in New York City and wrote
her first poem at age twelve. In the 1950s
while at Hunter College, Audre worked as a
librarian and educator and became a leader in
the early lesbian activist community in
Greenwich Village. Her poetry was published
regularly throughout the 1960s and 70s and
gained wide recognition with the publication
of her book The Cancer Journals in 1980, which
chronicled her experience with breast cancer.
In this groundbreaking work, she examined
her own fears, anger, and ultimately, her
strength and hope. Audre was named New
York State’s Poet Laureate in 1991, a post she
retained until her death at age 58, after a 14year struggle with breast cancer. She is
survived by her children, Elizabeth and
Jonathan, and her partner, Dr. Gloria Joseph.

Programs and Services
Primary Care
Comprehensive primary care services delivered in a skilled and culturally sensitive multidisciplinary team model,
stressing prevention and wellness. Our providers also offer management of chronic health problems ranging from
asthma to heart disease, as well as easily accessible appointments for urgent care. In 2012, Callen-Lorde served
nearly 15,000 patients who made over 85,000 patient visits.
Health Outreach To Teens (HOTT)
Adolescent and young adult medical and mental health program targeting homeless youth, including New York
State’s largest youth-focused HIV care program. Services are provided in a dedicated clinical suite on site and
through a licensed mobile medical van. All services – including prescription medications - are free of charge or
low-cost to young people ages 13-24. In 2012, the HOTT program provided free medical and mental health care
to over 1,400 largely homeless youth, both on site and on our mobile medical unit.
HIV/AIDS Care
Comprehensive HIV-related primary care services with experienced providers meeting New York State Department
of Health standards for HIV specialists, offered in conjunction with Care Coordination services which provide assistance to patients in navigating concrete services such as housing, health benefits, and immigration issues in order
to remove barriers to care. CLCHC has been funded by the CDC since June 2011 to implement an HIV prevention
intervention designed to reach high risk transgender youth of color in NYC and their partners. This intervention
seeks to increase access to HIV counseling and testing and linkage to care for transgender youth of color, as well as
to provide the evidence-based intervention Comprehensive Risk Counseling Services for persons at a high risk of
exposure to HIV experiencing multiple and complex risk reduction needs. In addition, Callen-Lorde is working
with Hunter College to conduct a PrEP ( pre-exposure prophylaxis) demonstration Project, developing, and
then testing, an intervention that integrates PrEP delivery and support into a comprehensive prevention package delivered in a “real world” community health center.
Women’s Health
Gynecological services and comprehensive primary care focused on the unique needs of lesbians and bisexual
women, as well as women of transgender experience. In addition to routine care, experienced medical staff provide colposcopy, cryotherapy, and LEEP—procedures designed to prevent cervical cancer. Case management services are also provided to uninsured patients to obtain entitlements and access follow-up diagnostic and specialty
care. Our Women’s Health programs place special emphasis on breast/chest and cervical cancer screening. To
assist uninsured patients, we participate with Columbia Cancer Prevention Services, which provides coverage for
all screening and diagnostic testing. For patients with abnormal screening tests, our case manager ensures that
patients gain access to specialty tests to determine if they have cancer and facilitates their access to treatment.
Facilitated Enrollment
In 2012, Callen-Lorde received a grant from the New York State Department of Health to provide Facilitated Enrollment services for the state’s public health insurance programs, Medicaid, Family Health Plus and Child Health
Plus. Now, at Callen-Lorde and 14 other sites in Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens and the Bronx, trained staff screen
interested applicants for program eligibility, help them complete the application, assist in the procurement of
needed documents, and submit these applications on their behalf. This service is provided free of charge. The
Callen-Lorde Facilitated Enrollment is focused on providing a compassionate and culturally sensitive enrollment
process and is committed to reaching out to New York’s most vulnerable residents. Since the program launched in
April 2012, the Callen-Lorde Facilitated Enrollment program has helped more than 800 individuals access health
coverage.
6
Mental Health
Our services include individual and group psychotherapy, psychiatric assessment, psychotropic medication management, crisis intervention, substance abuse assessment, and stabilization services. In 2012, Callen-Lorde applied
for and received Article 31 licensure to allow us to provide long-term mental healthcare and medication management for those in need.
Supportive Case Management
As part of our expanding efforts to reach out to all members of our communities, Supportive Case Management services are now specialized for transgender and gender non-conforming patients, for adolescents, for women, and
for HIV positive people.
Oral Health
Comprehensive dental and oral health care including preventive, restorative, rehabilitative, cosmetic, endodontic,
periodontal, and emergency services, as well as a dental hygiene program.
Transgender Health
Comprehensive, sensitive primary care including gynecology, and sexual health services, including counseling and
education, hormone therapy, and referrals to social support services.
Sexual Health
Comprehensive screening, diagnosis and treatment of sexually transmitted infections and individual counseling,
focused on the specific needs of the LGBT communities. The Sexual Health Clinic aims to assist patients stay safe
and healthy while maintaining a satisfying sex life.
Alternative Insemination
Uniquely tailored care encompassing family-building options, fertility awareness, assistance with donor selection,
and sperm storage. Both office-based insemination services and instruction in home-based, non-technical insemination are offered. This program provides sensitive care to anyone who wants to start a family but feels marginalized by other insemination clinics.
Health Education, Training, and Outreach
Health information, training, and education to groups and institutions outside of Callen-Lorde to ensure that LGBT
people receive safe and supportive health care services beyond our doors. In addition, outreach activities recruit
new audiences and new patients. In 2012, Outreach and Education completed 60 cultural competency and sensitiv-
ity trainings , including seminars at: GLMA (Gay & Lesbian Medical Association; Yale School of Nursing; The Ralph
Lauren Cancer Center, and The Albert Einstein Medical School.
Pharmacy
In November 2010, Callen-Lorde opened an onsite pharmacy in the lobby of our facility. At the end of its first year,
the pharmacy was already filling over 5,000 prescriptions a month, including significantly discounted medications
to people without health insurance. Prescriptions are sent electronically from our medical staff to the pharmacy ending potential communication errors between prescribers and pharmacists.

PATIENT VOICES
Community Advisory Boards
Callen-Lorde’s Community Advisory Boards
(CABs) provide patients with a forum where they
can impact the services and programs offered at
Callen-Lorde. Currently, CABs are available for
HIV positive patients, women, adolescents, and
transgender and gender non-conforming patients.
The valuable experiences and input of the CAB
members help Callen-Lorde provide the best
possible services to our patients. In addition, the
CABs provide patients with a meaningful outlet to
discuss concerns about their care and to affect
changes in policies and procedures—a process that
can have positive clinical applications to patients
who might otherwise feel isolated or powerless.
“I absolutely love Callen-Lorde. Easily
the best thing about them is that they
embrace the diversity of people and
their needs, and work to build your
healthcare based on you as an individual. “ - Jordan K., yelp, 1/12/2013
Callen-Lorde CAB Members pose with Assembly
Member Linda Rosenthal on Advocacy Day at
the Capitol.
Patient Satisfaction
To make sure that Callen-Lorde is providing the level of
quality care that our patients deserve and have come to
expect, we periodically conduct patient satisfaction surveys—
and the results of the latest one revealed that most patients
are very happy with the care they receive at Callen-Lorde,
with patient satisfaction improving significantly across every
measured category as compared to prior years’ results.
This input helps us continually improve the quality of our
services. For example, as a result of patient feedback we
created a new phone system that was rolled out in the fall of
2008, which included a call center where live staff members
now answer all incoming calls during our hours of operation.
“These people are saints. No other words to
describe what they do there. Went here for
some medical exams and they were very
very nice and helpful. If I ever win a large
amount of money, I'm donating some
here :) “ - Nim V., yelp, 5/26/2012

“Doctors follow up when they say they
will, they remember things from one
appointment to another, they take time
to explain things and they really create
an environment where you feel it is safe
to discuss your physical and health con– Rose Y., yelp, 3/13/12

Howard J. Brown, M.D., former New York City Public Health Commissioner, helped
change the image of gay men and lesbians by publicly affirming his homosexuality in
1973. In the spirit of Dr. Brown and his unwavering courage and dedication to the
health of our communities, we have established our major donor society in his name.
The mission of the society is to encourage major financial support for Callen-Lorde to
offset the over $5 million in unreimbursed services we provide every year. Members
make annual contributions of $1,000 or more to help Callen-Lorde continue its vital work
offering the highest quality healthcare to the LGBT communities.
Members of the Howard J. Brown Society are among Callen-Lorde’s most valued
benefactors. Donors at this level provide the essential funding that translates into
pioneering medical advances and unrivaled excellence in patient care.
As a token of our appreciation, members receive benefits and privileges including
complimentary tickets to Walk on the Wild Side, our annual summer party at the Central
Park Zoo. Members also receive invitaions to two regularly scheduled member
recpetions each year. Members are encouraged to invite guests to learn about CallenLorde and receive updates on our programs and services. The reception also allows us to
say thank you while members have the opportunity to network with other members. But
perhaps the most important reward is the satisfaction of knowing that they truly play a
vital role in the health and wellbeing of the LGBT communities.

Community Health Awards
Each fall for over a decade, Callen-Lorde has hosted the
Community Health Awards to honor the leaders in the field of
LGBT health. The event consistently draws hundreds of CallenLorde’s strongest friends and supporters. The evening includes a
cocktail reception, banquet, awards presentation, entertainment,
and inspirational speeches from community leaders.
Past honorees include former Surgeon General Dr. Jocelyn
Elders, Pulitzer Prize, Tony Award and Emmy Award winning
playwright and activist Tony Kushner, tennis star and health
advocate Martina Navratilova, and Dr. Kevin Fenton, Director of
the CDC’s Center for HIV/AIDS Prevention. Honors also go to
local physicians and institutions that are passionate about
providing the highest quality care to the LGBT communities and
Honoreee Cynthia Nixon
with Edie Windsor.
In 2012, Callen-Lorde honored Cynthia Nixon, Martin
Markowitz, MD, of the Aaron Diamond AIDS Research Center and Paul, Weiss, Rifkind, Wharton and Garrison LLP.
Walk on the Wild Side
Held at the beautiful Central Park Zoo, Callen-Lorde’s Walk
on the Wild Side has been the unofficial kick-off for the
summer Pride season since 2001. The event draws over 1,250
supporters and their children — becoming the only truly
family-friendly New York City Pride event. The evening
features delicious and bountiful food and drink, arts and crafts
activities, face painting, a performance by the
resident sea lions and appearances by
celebrities such as Cynthia Nixon, Cherry
Jones, B. D. Wong, John Tartaglia, Judy Gold,
Denis O’Hare and the stars of the Broadway
productions of The Lion King, Tarzan, Beauty
and the Beast and the cast of STOMP.
Spring Fever
20
In April 2008, Callen-Lorde hosted its first event exclusively for our female
donors and their friends, Spring Fever, at the beautiful Cheim & Read gallery in
Chelsea. Every year since, over 100 women have gathered for cocktails and hors
d’oeuvres in support of Callen-Lorde’s vital Women’s Health services. In its
second year, Spring Fever began to honor influential women who have
positively impacted Callen-Lorde and the broader community — honorees have
included NY Times blogger Kim Severson, Executive Director of M•A•C AIDS
Fund Nancy Mahon, and most recently , advocate and equal marriage
champion Edie Windsor.
