NAHAC TOWN HALL - SPECIAL PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE

Join us for a special NAHAC Town Hall as we close out the 2024–2025 term with a candid, community-centered conversation led by our outgoing Board President, Catherine Marshall, BCPA, CSA®.

As she prepares to pass the torch, we’ll reflect on what we've accomplished together and share a glimpse into what’s ahead for NAHAC. You’ll hear updates, insights, and maybe even a few surprises in this open forum designed for connection and transparency.

JUNE WEBINAR

You don’t have to fully understand someone’s identity to advocate for their health and dignity. In this session for patient advocates led by Dr. Malynnda Stewart, we’ll explore how to center care, not curiosity, when working with LGBTQIA patients. Together, we’ll unpack common assumptions that may unintentionally create barriers to care and refocus our approach on what all patients need: respect, safety, and support.

JUNE LET'S CHAT
