Combining the resources of the lesbian-led Women's Health Collective and the Gay Men's Health Project, the Community-Health Project opens in Greenwich Village. Two years later, they will open a community-led HIV clinic with Bellevue Hospital.

In 1998, the project will change its name to the Callen-Lorde Community Health Center after Michael Callen and Audre Lorde. Today, the center provides "sensitive, quality health care and related services targeted to New York’s lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender communities...regardless of ability to pay" (Callen-Lorde Center, n.d.).
