LGBTQ+ patients face unique biases and challenges in accessing high-quality healthcare. And patient advocates have a unique opportunity to help ensure that LGBTQ+ patients get the inclusive, affirmative care that they need and deserve. To discuss these issues and share resources that advocates can use to support their LGBTQ+ clients, we’re thrilled to host an expert call-in show with Jessica Halem, Senior Director of the Eidos LGBTQ+ Health Initiative at the University of Pennsylvania. Jessica previously served as the inaugural LGBTQ Director at Harvard Medical School, where she led educational programs across the University and its hospitals. Jessica is also a driving force behind the recent launch of the LGBTQ+ Healthcare Directory a project of the Tegan and Sara Foundation and GLMA – Health Professionals Advancing LGBTQ+ Equality.
