The LGBTQ+ (Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender and Queer) community faces significant discrimination when seeking healthcare services. LGBTQ+ patients experience refusal of care, intentional misgendering, un-acknowledgement of same-gender partners, and overall lack of knowledge about the unique needs of LGBTQ+ patients.
Join us for a thought-provoking webinar exploring these disparities and ways to cultivate an inclusive, affirming and safe environment where LGBTQ+ patients, especially older adults, receive inclusive care from a welcoming health system.
