The Problem

Accessing competent healthcare can be challenging for the LGBTQIA+ community. Finding providers who understand their unique needs, along with basic self-help medical resources, should be simple and straightforward. However, this is often not the case. Many LGBTQIA+ individuals face significant barriers when seeking medical care, including fear of being judged, underserved, or stigmatized. These challenges can deter individuals from seeking the necessary care, leading to unmet medical needs and exacerbated health disparities.

The lack of easily accessible, LGBTQIA-competent healthcare providers and self-help medical resources further compounds these issues. Often, the healthcare system is not equipped to address the specific concerns and experiences of LGBTQIA+ individuals, resulting in a lack of trust and reluctance to seek care. This problem extends beyond physical health and affects mental and emotional well-being, creating a cycle of negative health outcomes.
