Dear Supporters, Friends, and Community Members,
We are proud to present our 2009-2010 Annual Report, in which 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 we’ve been growing and
changing. You’ll read about our facility renovation that will increase our
medical exam space by almost 40% and add an on-site pharmacy. We are also
happy to report that we have expanded our care coordination services to help
our patients overcome any barriers to getting the care they need and deserve.
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.
Sincerely,
Wendy Stark
Executive Director
Gal Mayer
Medical 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 Callen-Lorde 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.
Sincerely,
Claudia Slacik
Co-Chair, Board of Directors
Michael Bayer
Co-Chair, Board of Directors

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. Callen-Lorde is
designated by the federal Health Resources and
Services Administration as a Federally Qualified
Health Center (FQHC).
A Federally Qualified Health Center is a licensed
health facility designated to improve the specific
health needs of a medically underserved area and/
or population though the delivery of
comprehensive medical services.

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 volunteerstaffed, 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 targeting the needs of the LGBT
communities and people living with HIV/AIDS.
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 Gay-Related 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 long-term
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 14-year struggle
with breast cancer. She is survived by her
children, Elizabeth and Jonathan, and her partner,
Dr. Gloria Joseph.

PATIENT CARE 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.
2009-2010 Update:
 Callen-Lorde provided over $4.45 million in unreimbursed services in the last year alone, and
provided 14,000 New Yorkers—50% of whom had no health insurance—with critical healthcare
services.
 Electronic medical records software was upgraded to enhance the quality and reliability of care.
Facility Renovation & Expansion of Services
In 2009, we initiated a multi-phased expansion project that will result in a 38% capacity increase – with ten
new exam rooms, two new blood drawing suites, our first on-site pharmacy, and over 40 new staff members –
enabling us to accommodate an additional 20,000 patient visits per year.
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 are free of charge or low-cost to young people
ages 13-24.
HIV/AIDS Care
Comprehensive HIV-related primary care services with experienced providers meeting New York State
Department of Health standards for HIV specialists.
2009-2010 Update: Care Coordination services for HIV positive patients were greatly expanded in
2010, adding 12 new Patient Navigators and an Intake Coordinator to our existing services. This new
effort focuses on working with patients in the field, in their homes and at other agencies to remove
barriers to needed care.
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 followup 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.
Mental Health
Our services include individual and group psychotherapy, psychiatric assessment, psychotropic medication
management, crisis intervention, substance abuse assessment, and stabilization services.
6
2009-2010 Update: Our current licensure allows us to provide short-term services, but we are
exploring obtaining additional NYS licensure that would allow us to provide a greater scope and
larger volume of needed services.
Care Coordination
One-on-one dialogues focused on increasing access to care to our most vulnerable patients. Care
Coordinators help patients enroll in entitlement programs and provide supportive counseling, referrals, and
advocacy.
2009-2010 Update: As part of our expanding efforts to reach out to all members of our
communities, Care Coordination services are now specialized for patients 50 and older and for
transgender and gender non-conforming patients—adding to our existing programs for adolescents,
women, and HIV positive patients.
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, trans-sensitive primary care, GYN, and sexual health services, including counseling and
education, hormone therapy, and referrals to social support services.
2009-2010 Update: Callen-Lorde’s Sexual Health Clinic was expanded to include comprehensive
services for transgender and gender non-conforming patients, including chest/breast exams, pelvic
exams and PAP tests, prostate exams, STI screening and treatment, HIV testing, and harm reduction
counseling.
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. In partnership with the New York City
Department of Health, Sexual Health Clinic was opened on Saturdays to meet increasing demand.
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, nontechnical 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.
2009-2010 Update: Callen-Lorde has expanded its Health Education program with a variety of
trainings and workshops designed to help educators, medical and social service professionals, and
students better understand the needs of LGBT individuals.
In 2009-2010, Callen-Lorde completed a visioning phase of a comprehensive strategic planning process that
will guide the growth of the health center over the next five years. In the visioning phase we gathered
information about our community's needs. In the upcoming implementation phase we will define how we will
grow and change to meet those needs. Please visit our website to see the findings of our visioning phase.

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,
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.
Callen-Lorde is not only a facility
for medical services, it is a family
that breeds hope, compassion and
love within each person who walks
through the door. I am so blessed to
have found such an amazing place
that I can truly call my own and
recommend to all of my friends
knowing that they will receive the
same stellar service that I have for
the past four years.
-Lanita
Patient Satisfaction Survey
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.
I am writing to thank you for
providing such wonderful
services. I am without health
insurance and am so happy to
have found you — affordable,
clean, pleasant, professional,
and mostly, sincerely caring.
I was informed of many helpful
opportunities, programs, free
mammograms, without even
inquiring.
It is so important to be able
to take care of myself with
integrity without health
insurance—and your facility
allows me to do just that.
-Joanne
Callen-Lorde has made
a profound difference
in my life.
Thank you for being
there.
-Tim
I would like to let you know how
exceptional your staff is, from
the reception personnel to the
nurses to the phlebotomists.
Regardless of my mood when I
arrive, your staff is able to help
make my mood a bit brighter.
I thank you and them for the gifts
you so freely give away.
-Edward

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 the Howard J.
Brown Society at Callen-Lorde Community Health Center.
The mission of the society is to encourage major financial support for Callen-Lorde to offset the over
$4 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. But perhaps the most important
reward to members is the satisfaction of knowing that they truly play a vital role in the health and wellbeing
of the LGBT communities.

Callen-Lorde gratefully acknowledges the
contributions of all our donors, large and
small, the vast majority of whom are not
recognized in this report.
Without their generosity, our life-saving
work could not go on and many of the most
vulnerable in our communities would have
nowhere else to turn.

ANNUAL EVENTS
Community Health Awards
Each fall for the last 10 years, Callen-Lorde has hosted the
Community Health Awards to honor the leaders in the field of LGBT
health. The event consistently draws around 400 of Callen-Lorde’s
strongest friends and supporters. The evening includes a cocktail
reception, banquet, presentation of the awards, entertainment, and
inspirational speeches from community leaders.
Past honorees include former Surgeon General Dr. Jocelyn Elders,
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
those with HIV/AIDS.
In 2009, Callen-Lorde honored Dr. Tony Urbina, Medical Director of
HIV/AIDS Education and Training at St. Vincent’s Catholic Medical
Center, the LGBT Equality Caucus of the U.S. House of
Representatives, and the New York State Health Foundation.

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 of
the summer Pride season for the last 10
years. The event draws around 1,000
supporters and their kids—being one of
the only events in New York to target
LGBT families. The festivities have
traditionally been emceed by a celebrity
host, and guests are treated to food and
drink, arts and crafts, face painting,
musical numbers, and a performance by
the resident seals. Special guests have
included Sex and the City’s Cynthia
Nixon and cast members from the
Broadway production of The Lion
King. In 2010, the cast of Stomp
performed a rousing musical number.
Spring Fever
In April 2008, Callen-Lorde hosted its first event exclusively for women, Spring
Fever, at the beautiful Cheim & Read gallery in Chelsea. Over 100 women gathered
for cocktails and hors d’oeuvres in support of Callen-Lorde’s vital Women’s Health
services. The event was such a success that it was revived for 2009 and again in
2010. Special guests have included author and blogger Kim Severson, and musician
Laura Coyle. At Spring Fever 2010, Callen-Lorde honored Nancy Mahon,
Executive Director of M•A•C AIDS Fund.
