This day-long LGBTQ+ Health
Conference has been organized by the Health Equity Alliance and the QCHA, an
LGBTQ+ Community Health Initiative. The 2016 LGBTQ+ Conference highlights lived
experiences of community members to explore how multiple, complex identities
impact health outcomes.
This conference will explore
questions like:
How can a harm
reduction approach improve queer health?
What are the unique health needs of elders who are LGBT?
Why are STIs and HIV still on the rise for gay and bisexual men?
How can providers make transition-related care more accessible?
This year's keynote address,
"Not Because Our Bodies Are Different: LGBT Cancer Health
Disparities" will be delivered by Liz Margolies:
Liz Margolies, LCSW, is the founder
and executive director of the National LGBT Cancer Network, the first and only
national program addressing the needs of LGBT people with cancer and those at
risk. Based in NYC, the Network focuses on education, training, advocacy and
support. Liz is also a psychotherapist in private practice, specializing in
trauma, loss, health disparities and sexuality. In addition, she is a regular
blogger for the Huffington Post. In 2014 Liz was chosen as one of the OUT100
for her work in the LGBT community.
