Callen-Lorde Community Health Center, New York City Many community clinics use a combination of Tom Waddell Health Center and Callen-Lorde CHC Protocols. The Callen Lorde Protocols are only available by direct request (use link for request form.) Providers like them because they are very specific visit-by-visit and have a strong informed consent component.
