Focusing on LGBTQ+ Health Considerations
The LGBTQ+ Health Care Conference is a three-day event designed for healthcare professionals, learners, researchers, patients, community organizations and interested community members who seek to understand the unique health considerations and barriers to health care in the LGBTQ+ population.
