LGBT Patient-Centered Care: Strategies to Ensure Health Equity & Inclusion |
|
How can medical centers and health professionals provide equitable and inclusive care to their lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender patients? LGBT health expert Shane Snowdon will discuss the disparities, inequities, and anxieties experienced by LGBT patients and their families – and how health institutions around the country are addressing them. She’ll describe reality-tested strategies, tools, and resources for providing LGBT patient-centered care, including the HRC’s national Healthcare Equality Index.
Tuesday, June 12 at University of Nebraska Medical Center 519 S. 40th Plaza Circle
