Lesbian, Bisexual and Transgender Women's Wellness Program
Why
Because Lesbian, Bisexual, and Trans (LBT) women:
- are more likely to receive substandard care,
- often remain silent about important health issues, and
- have the richest concentration of risk factors for breast cancer, which include having children later in life or not at all, not participating in ongoing well-woman exams, and not having adequate insurance to cover exams. Click here for information on low- or no-cost screenings.
We are committed to
- provide breast health educational information to LBT women and raise awareness of breast cancer in our population.
- connect LBT women to resources and services through safe and accessible means.
- provide health care providers with cultural competency trainings.
Getting involved
- Recommend a health care provider. If you’ve had a positive experience with health care providers, please recommend them. We will contact them, provide cultural competency training, and add them to our Health and Wellness Directory for LGBT affirmative providers.
- Join the LBT Women's Wellness Program Group and create real change within our community! See information above for the next meeting time and place.
- Attend an LBT Women’s Wellness Project sponsored event.
- Check out The Center’s website for upcoming events.
- Donate to the LBT Women’s Wellness Project or organize a fundraiser.
