Forward9th Annual Pride Health Symposium: The Obstacle is the Path
Overview
This event offers a unique opportunity for healthcare professionals and community members to come together and share best practices and practical insights aimed at addressing the health inequities and disparities faced by the LGBTQ+ population.

The symposium is dedicated to strengthening healthcare systems, fostering hope, and promoting accessible care for LGBTQ+ patients, while emphasizing the urgent need to build a strong coalition among healthcare providers to navigate these evolving challenges and continue advocating for inclusive, compassionate care.
