Policy & Advocacy Committee
The Policy & Advocacy Committee works with community partners to advocate for LGBTQ health equity. This is done through various outlets, including working with health care providers to make current policies LGBTQ inclusive.
Ad Hoc Committee: Pride Providers
The coalition’s Pride Provider Project is a new committee that’s being formed with the goal of creating a process by which current and new health care providers are officially vetted and given a “stamp of approval” to show clients/consumers/patients the provider is providing culturally competent care for LGBTQ communities.
