The National Coalition for LGBTQ Health announces that the theme for this year’s National LGBTQ Health Awareness Week is “Organize to OUTlast.”
We urge healthcare professionals, advocates, and community leaders to collaborate on building strategies, skills, resources, and support structures that continue to foster health equity amid divestment and fragmentation of the broader healthcare system. By organizing within and across communities to protect advances in LGBTQ health, we will outlast the attempts to erase our progress. Organize to OUTlast assures us that together, the LGBTQ community and LGBTQ health services will survive, thrive, and persevere through these challenging times and beyond.
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.
