Why it Matters
Advancing health equity for 2SLGBTQIA+ communities is essential to providing high-quality, person-centred care. Addressing the unique barriers faced by gender-diverse individuals helps foster a more inclusive, respectful, and culturally responsive healthcare environment. Supporting staff and boards with current knowledge and best practices ultimately enhances outcomes and strengthens trust with the communities we serve.
