TOWN HALL FOR YOUR HEALTH
Studies have shown that Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender residents have health disparities when compared to the general population. There are several possible explanations as to why these exist but more importantly there are tangible steps we can take to eliminate these differences.
