Submit an event for posting consideration. Submissions accepted will be added within 2 business days if your submission meets the criteria.
Overview
The LGBTQ+ Veteran community is diverse and faces many healthcare disparities due to barriers to care and negative treatment. Current estimates put the LGBTQ+ Veteran community at well over one million people (not including family members), with tens of thousands experiencing structural exclusions from VA benefits and health care due to discharges related to sexual orientation and gender identity under past administrative policies. In this session, we will discuss underlying issues impacting healthcare disparities for LGBTQ+ Veterans and strategies for addressing these issues to improve access to care and reduce harms experienced by this community.
Presenter
Kai River Blevins | Associate Policy Director, Minority Veterans of America
