Visible and Valued: Addressing Erasure in Health Care

In medicine and healthcare, LGBTQ+ voices are too often marginalized, overlooked or excluded entirely. This lack of representation impacts quality of care, reinforces health inequities, and leaves critical gaps in education and practice. For the 2025 LGBTQ+ Health Care Conference, we’re wokring to confront these issue, creating a platform for dialogue, learning, and actionable change. 

By connecting voices from medicine, social work, education, and advocacy, the conference fosters interdisciplinary collaboration to address erasure at every level—education, clinical practice, policy, and community health.
