In Partnership With The Health Collective

Founded in 1983, The Health Collective, formerly known as the Hartford Gay and Lesbian Health Collective, is the second-oldest LGBTQIA+ health organization in the State of Connecticut dedicated to providing holistic, wraparound healthcare services to sexual and gender minority communities. We offer a full range of services, including medical care, HIV/STI testing, vaccinations, affirming aesthetics, mental health and psychosocial support services, harm reduction programs, and comprehensive dental care excluding surgical interventions. As a pioneer in LGBTQIA+ health, we were the first organization in Connecticut to provide dental care to people living with HIV and AIDS, setting a precedent for inclusive and compassionate care in the state.

Our mission is to “promote healthy living, provide high-quality, compassionate care, and advocate for systemic solutions to the healthcare access barriers and health disparities faced by sexual and gender minority groups.” Through this mission, we have built a safe, welcoming space where LGBTQIA+ individuals can access the care and support they need. For many in our community, the Health Collective serves as the first point of access to life-changing health services, bridging gaps in care and fostering long-term well-being.

*Q Care Plus partners with The Health Collective to offer PrEP and doxy-PEP services.

Andre G.

“I work in healthcare and am fully aware of the long drawn out processes certain departments have in place and you won’t experience that with Qcare. Staff are readily available for any questions or concerns that come up! I truly believe qcare’s business model is to keep everything simple, which is greatly appreciated!!”

Kevin S.

“Dr Belfry was amazing. She is positive and easy to talk to. I was appreciative for her expertise.
I believe the idea of free care, especially of this nature, is exactly what is needed in an unpredictable and hectic world. It is nice to have that comfort and convenience.”

Michelle C.

“Everything has been so easy. The reminders of when to get prescription and tested are very helpful. No side effects to date of the medication. Thank you!!!”

Monty J.

“Before Q Care Plus, I genuinely didn’t think I’d ever be able to get put on PrEP; I thought there was no way I was going to afford it! Now, I’ve been on it for about a year and a half, and will be continuing it for the foreseeable future! I’m so grateful for how Q Care Plus has increased access to PrEP and for how easy it has made the entire process – not stressful at all! Anthony Interrante is my Q Care Plus Nurse Practitioner and he’s amazing! If I ever have a question about something, he’s super helpful and answers in a timely manner! If I happen to be late on submitting something, such as my at-home lab kit, he’ll bring it up in order to get me back on track, which I think is super helpful and important, so I really appreciate it! If you’re considering Q Care Plus, I cannot recommend it enough because my experience with it and with Anthony have been nothing but positive!”

Austin A.

“I have been with Q Care Plus and on Prep since March of 2021 and am very pleased with the service and professionalism of everybody there. Whenever I have questions about any health concerns, I receive responses and calls promptly to get them answered. I recommend to go through Q Care Plus to everybody who I know.”
