Health Equity NOW!
The National Coalition for LGBTQ Health is proud to announce the theme for the 23rd National LGBTQ Health Awareness Week, “Health Equity NOW!” The Week will take place March 17 to March 21, 2025.
Health Equity NOW! is an urgent call to action for better healthcare access and outcomes for the LGBTQ+ community. As policies and funding shift, threatening the health of some of our most vulnerable communities, unwavering commitment to protecting vital services and expanding inclusive care must remain a priority.
This week is an opportunity to engage with organizations conducting crucial health equity work, to inform the public about the importance of LGBTQ+ health, and to unite providers, LGBTQ+ communities, and allies for the advancement of real solutions that remove barriers and improve health for us all.
