Community Programs

The New Haven CAHC Program works to promote health in the community by educating youth on various areas regarding their physical, social and mental health. Annually, a health needs survey is distributed to program participants. This health needs survey allows us to provide programs that will be most beneficial to the youth in the surrounding communities. The following programs are available throughout the year at the New Haven Medical Center, as well as availability for interested schools or other community groups.
