LGBTQIA+ Health

LGBTQIA+ health encompasses the unique physical, mental, and sexual health needs of lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer or questioning, intersex, and asexual individuals. Despite progress, LGBTQIA communities often face significant barriers to accessing inclusive and competent healthcare.
