“At Callen-Lorde, I learned the true meaning of service: to uplift and protect the very community I hold most dear. I witnessed a safe space based in science, a mission lifted by and for community.”

Please join us in welcoming Dr. Daskalakis back to New York City!

He has served in key roles at NYU School of Medicine/Bellevue Hospital, Icahn School of Medicine/Mount Sinai, NYC Department of Health and Mental Hygiene, and CDC.

Alongside our CEO Patrick McGovern, he was recently named to Mayor-Elect Zohran Mamdani’s Transition Committee on Health.

Dr. Daskalakis first encountered our clinics in 1997, while on rotations as an NYU medical student; and more than 25 years later Callen-Lorde honored him at this year’s Community Health Awards!

For 25 years, the Community Health Awards has honored leaders, advocates and trailblazers who have fought tirelessly for LGBTQ+ health. This year’s celebration is more than an anniversary—it is a powerful reminder of what we have achieved together and a rallying call for the work still ahead.
