LGBTQ Health Advocacy Webinars
Mpox, Two Years Later: Moving from Apathy to Action
The National Coalition for LGBTQ Health presents a webinar that will provide an in-depth look at the current state of U.S. and global Mpox outbreaks. The webinar will focus on education, awareness, uptake, and access to the vaccine and treatment needs.
Expert faculty will discuss the intersection of Mpox and the syndemics of LGBTQIA+ health, emphasizing prevention and care impacts, as well as our knowledge of breakthrough infections and issues affecting potential treatment resistance.
This webinar aims to foster effective community engagement and to advocate for equitable resource allocation to improve health outcomes for LGBTQIA+ individuals, seeking to move the needle further toward Mpox preparedness.
Payments, Protections, and Policies Impacting Access to LGBTQ Healthcare
Lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBTQ) persons historically have faced significant barriers to healthcare, including stigma, discrimination, lack of culturally-competent providers, lack of health insurance, and inability to pay, and other socioeconomic determinants. While many LGBTQ individuals have gained access to health insurance through the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (ACA), the current Administration has worked hard to undermine these gains in coverage.
This webinar will examine current regulatory and policy changes affecting LGBTQ patients' out of pocket costs, and access to affordable medications and medically necessary care.
Faculty from the National Coalition for LGBT Health, Transgender Law Center, and Avalere Health will provide the latest information on healthcare reform and what to expect during next 12 months. The webinar also will provide recommendations on how you and advocate for LGBTQ healthcare access.
The Impact of COVID-19 on the LGBTQ Community
COVID-19 and its unprecedented public health response has certainly impacted our lives in ways we would not have imagined just a few weeks ago.
This timely webinar highlights the response of LGBTQ+ community groups and health centers as they support LGBTQ+ communities during this crisis.
Speakers explore unique issues for the community, innovative practices in responding to needs, how traditional programming has been modified to meet community needs, and other challenges impacting LGBTQ+ health.
