Central Outreach Wellness Center on Broad Street in Columbus serves the city’s diverse LGBTQ+ community and allies. Whether you’re looking for inclusive primary care, state-of-the-art PrEP services, support on your gender-affirming journey, or help navigating HIV or Hep C treatment, you’ll find expert clinicians ready to listen and help.
At Central Outreach Wellness Center, the Columbus community finds not just expert medical care, but a sense of belonging. As a true neighborhood resource, our wellness center goes beyond the basics. We foster a compassionate, stigma-free environment for every patient – especially LGBTQ+ individuals who too often feel unseen in the healthcare system.
From the moment you arrive, you’ll notice the difference: diverse staff, gender-affirming practices, and genuine respect for your lived experience. We provide a wide range of primary care, sexual health, mental health, and gender-affirming services with flexible scheduling and walk-in options, focused on keeping your care accessible and personalized. No insurance? No problem. We’ll help you get the care you need, every time.
If you would like to schedule an appointment, please call us, or do so below. We accept walk-ins, but always recommend a scheduled appointment.
FRIENDLY NOTE
Central Outreach is part of the Safe Space Alliance, and we provide Inclusive healthcare to EVERYONE with dignity and respect, including patients who identify themselves outside the gender binary.
On the other hand, the electronic medical record tool we use to facilitate scheduling appointments with us only provides the ability to specify either of the binary genders. We understand that this might be of concern to some of our patients, so in the interim, we request that you pick a gender on your driver's license, and we can discuss/address it at the office during your visit. We are working on transitioning to another electronic medical record to resolve this situation, so we apologize for any inconvenience incurred.
Thank you for your consideration!

No labels required—just bring your authentic self. Central Outreach welcomes everyone, whether you’re out, questioning, or simply want judgment-free care. Our focus is on providing excellent, sensitive healthcare, so all of Columbus feels safe accessing primary care or sexual health services with us.
Many patients can start PrEP in just one or two visits! After your initial consultation and labs, Central Outreach’s experts ensure you understand how PrEP works, help with insurance or assistance programs, and get you on a prevention plan that fits your lifestyle. We streamline care, minimize wait times, and are always here for questions.
Central Outreach has a deep commitment to HIV care, grounded in both medical expertise and community engagement. We offer state-of-the-art testing and same-day appointments for prevention (PrEP/PEP). For those with HIV, we provide continuity of care, medication management, and holistic support, with an emphasis on achieving undetectable status and living well.
Yes! Central Outreach’s services support people of all ages. We customize gender-affirming care based on your goals—whether you’re exploring your identity, starting hormone therapy, or seeking resources for transition. Family support and referrals to local LGBTQ+ organizations are available to make your journey as smooth as possible.
Central Outreach believes in empowerment, not embarrassment. Every visit is private and meets you where you are—whether you have symptoms or just want routine screening. We explain each step and offer same-day appointments, walk-ins, and quick results. Our clinicians take time to answer all your questions—no stigma, just real solutions.
Mental health is an integral part of Central Outreach, not an afterthought. We offer LGBTQ-affirming individual counseling, group sessions, and psychiatric medication management, plus help navigating insurance or sliding-scale options. Our staff is here to support you through anxiety, depression, stress, or major life transitions—always with respect and confidentiality.
Access is a cornerstone of Central Outreach’s mission. We’ll help you enroll in insurance if eligible, connect you to patient assistance programs, and offer sliding-scale fees for those who qualify. Don’t let cost concerns keep you away—reach out to our Columbus office staff, and we’ll find a way to serve you.
