Health Equity
Sexual Orientation and Gender Equity in Cancer Care
LGBTQ+ individuals often face healthcare challenges, including identifying and accessing providers knowledgeable about their health risks and behaviors and who provide culturally affirming care.
​
For this reason, we will provide links to resources and care sites that support these individuals and can assist in ensuring there are places that not only give the right care but offer this in a respectful and affirming manner.
