We do this by conducting innovative research and developing education and advocacy programs grounded in the LGBT community.�We act as a catalyst for change in the larger community by applying our knowledge broadly. We are motivated by�the belief that everyone, everywhere deserves access to high-quality, culturally-competent health care.
