What we do
Health care
for all
Integrated primary care, behavioral health, and more at our five outpatient community health centers in Bristol, Hartford, New Britain, Plainville, and Waterbury, as well as our Mobile Family Health & Wellness Center.
Community services
Get connected with countless services and programs that meet the needs of our community, such as foster care, community justice services, community-based family services, crisis services, and more.
Special education
Every child deserves the opportunity to succeed in school. Wheeler creates and supports this opportunity through an array of programs and services for students ages 5-22 with complex social, emotional, developmental, learning and/or behavioral challenges.
Guided by purpose
Our mission is to provide equitable access to innovative care that improves health, recovery and growth at all stages of life. Our vision is that all people will have the opportunity to grow, change and live healthier, productive lives.
We are kind.
Our values define what shapes our behavior and our work.
We create a welcoming, comfortable, and safe environment for all people.
Our values define what shapes our behavior and our work.
We build open, honest communication in all that we do.
Our values define what shapes our behavior and our work.
We work together to ensure access to care for every individual who needs it.
Our values define what shapes our behavior and our work.
Your health in your hands
Our new patient portal, Wheeler Health Connect, is a secure online website that provides you with convenient access to your personal health information.
We use a state-of-the-art Electronic Health Record (EHR) system for many of our programs, which supports our efforts to provide high-quality and well-coordinated care, while also maintaining the records of our clients in a secure and standardized manner.
You and your family may have many complex needs. Perhaps you have a chronic condition such as asthma, diabetes, or heart disease. You or a loved one may be struggling with emotional issues or addiction. Think of Wheeler as your “home” for care, a place where your medical and behavioral health care is managed and coordinated by a team that works in partnership with you to assess your needs, treat your condition(s), and help you reach your health goals.
