The Central Community Health Education Clinic is part of our plan to meet the changing needs of our students and the healthcare workforce, while addressing the local disparities and inequities in healthcare that exist for residents in the greater New Britain area. The goal of the clinic is to provide our students with opportunities to gain valuable hands-on experience in their field by embedding new and enhanced experiential learning opportunities into the curriculum.
Additionally, the clinic facilitates and strengthens interprofessional collaboration and education amongst health and human service programs with other programs across the campus to deepen our connections to the community and address social inequalities along with health disparities. The clinic offers preventative health screenings, such as blood pressure screenings, diabetes screenings, cholesterol screenings, fitness assessments, body mass analysis, and much more!
