LGBT Health Equity

LGBT health equity means ensuring that lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender individuals have the same access to quality healthcare and health outcomes as everyone else. It involves addressing unique challenges faced by these communities, such as discrimination, stigma, and lack of knowledgeable providers, which can lead to higher rates of certain health issues. Achieving health equity requires creating inclusive, respectful healthcare environments and removing barriers so all people, regardless of their sexual orientation or gender identity, can confidently seek care and live healthy lives.
