About the LGBTQ+ Health Summit
The LGBTQ+ Health Summit educates and activates the health sciences community on LGBTQ+ health and creates new pathways to serve LGBTQ+ communities.
The summit reinvigorates LGBTQ+-identified healthcare professionals, students and community members in finding community and support in practice, and it promotes the use of up-to-date, best practices to improve LGBTQ+ health outcomes.
Over 600 healthcare providers, nurses, students, and community members participated in the School of Nursing’s LGBTQ+ Health Summit in 2022.
Thank you for joining us for the 3rd Annual LGBTQ+ Health Summit!
Check back soon for information about next year’s event.
“This summit provided an excellent space to examine the ways in which our medical care systems are working for or against LGBTQ+ populations, and to collaboratively brainstorm ways to improve access for the state’s LGBTQ+ community.”
Rachel Goldberg, Public Health Madison & Dane County
