Welcome to the website of the first annual National LGBT Health Awareness Week!
The LGBT Health Awareness
Week is a very visible way
for you to support the Coalition and promote a healthy LBGT community
across the nation. We have 4 objectives for the LGBT Health Awareness
Week:
• Through aggressive media relations
and community outreach, raise awareness of the unique health concerns,
as well as the very real health disparities, among LGBT communities.
• Educate the LGBT communities about the health issues that affect
our lives in significant ways.
• Provide community health centers, local organizations, and community
representatives with tools to amplify the national campaign at the local
level.
• Educate medical and health care professionals in the area of cultural
competency with regard to LGBT health.
