Who We Are - A Catalyst for Change in Hartford County, CT
Originally founded as a forward-thinking Think Tank, the Lavender Policy Center (LPC) has evolved into a leading organization dedicated to dismantling barriers that perpetuate inequalities in health and wellness. Rooted in New Britain, CT, the LPC serves as a hub for transformative initiatives that address the social determinants of health—the conditions in which individuals live, learn, work, and play, which heavily influence health outcomes.
The LPC’s mission extends beyond the LGBTQIA+ community, championing inclusivity and equity for all individuals by:
Assisting with the costs of life-saving treatments that include genetic-based therapies/counseling and HIV medications.
Looking beyond symptoms to examine the systemic factors causing inequities. This includes digital literacy barriers, income disparities, insurance navigation challenges, caregiver shortages, and neighborhood-level resource availability.
Providing tailored programs for health education, support, and awareness to build resilience and self-advocacy.
Through collaborative partnerships and a solutions-driven approach, the LPC remains steadfast in its commitment to breaking cycles of poverty, discrimination, and health disparities. By addressing these interconnected challenges, our organization continues to create lasting change for individuals and families across Hartford County and beyond.
Impact In Action
We pride ourselves on advocating for Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion. A cornerstone of LPC programming is advocacy for municipal policy reform to uplift LGBTQIA+ individuals, and this has expanded into other high-impact areas to benefit marginalized communities.
Collaboration Drives Innovation
Fostering diversity of thought ensures better outcomes because our people are as unique as the communities we serve. We harness different perspectives, talents, and ideas to create an unparalleled experience.
