About The Center

The Center for Key Populations (CKP) is a program of Community Health Center, Inc. (CHC), Connecticut’s largest federally qualified health center, where “health care is a right, not a privilege.”

Through access to high-quality primary and specialty healthcare, CKP seeks to remove barriers to comprehensive, respectful, evidence-based care for key populations in our communities. We collaborate with CHC across the spectrum of health care, including mobile health, quality improvement, training and education, and research, to help transform the lives of the patients we serve.
