We know more about than ever before and our expanding prevention toolbox helps prove it.

And yet, racial disparities persist and have even grown among the most impacted communities.

This , Callen-Lorde joined Amida Care, Destination Tomorrow, Latino Commission on AIDS, and National Black Leadership Commission on Health to demand urgent, coordinated action at every level of government and called on our community to name and address these inequities.

The time for reflection has passed. The time to act is now.

📣 First established in 1992, is a day to promote the dignity, rights and well-being of people with disabilities. One of the focuses this year is inclusive health financing. At Callen-Lorde, we are advancing this call today and every day. Through care provided free of judgement and regardless of identity or ability to pay, we are committed to helping all communities access care.

We also know disability comes in many forms. Not all of them are visible. Need accommodations? We got your back. Just let us know before or during your next visit!

We are thrilled to announce that Dr. Demetre Daskalakis is joining Callen-Lorde as our Chief Medical Officer!

Dr. Daskalakis has a wealth of experience that will help him guide Callen-Lorde through new clinical initiatives and challenges while remaining steadfast to our mission to care for our communities regardless of ability to pay. His passion and experience make him particularly suited for this new role—and he has a deep connection to Callen-Lorde. He first encountered our clinics in 1997 while on rotations as an NYU medical student; and more than 25 years later Callen-Lorde honored him at this year’s Community Health Awards.

“At Callen-Lorde, I learned the true meaning of service: to uplift and protect the very community I hold most dear. I witnessed a safe space based in science, a mission lifted by and for community.”

Dr. Daskalakis established himself as a prominent infectious disease physician and researcher during posts at the NYU School of Medicine/Bellevue Hospital and Icahn School of Medicine/Mount Sinai early in his career before moving to the New York City Department of Health and Mental Hygiene in 2014.

He first worked as the Assistant Commissioner of the Bureau of HIV/AIDS Prevention and Control and ultimately became the Deputy Commissioner of the Division of Disease Control. In 2021 he went to work in several positions at the CDC, eventually becoming the director of its National Center for Immunization and Respiratory Diseases; he also spent one year at the White House where he led the nation’s mpox response.

Recently Dr. Daskalakis, along with our CEO Patrick McGovern, were named to Mayor-Elect Zohran Mamdani's Transition Committee on Health.

Please join us in welcoming Dr. Daskalakis back to New York City!

📣 Let's talk management care! Regular check-ins and exams help ensure your care plan is working.

🩸 One important part of this care is regular A1C blood tests. This exam checks reflects your average blood sugar level over the past three months. A higher percentage means higher average blood sugar over the period. This number can give you a sense of how well managed your diabetes is and whether your current treatment is working properly.
