Panel Discussion: Breaking Barriers: Advancing LGBTQ+ Health Equity Through Policy — Presented by the Penn Lenoard Davis Insitute of Health Economics

About

The University of Pennsylvania’s Lenoard Davis Insitute of Health Economics invites the Penn community to the event Breaking Barriers: Advancing LGBTQ+ Health Equity Through Policy, a panel discussion exploring the current state of LGBTQ+ health research and its implications for health policy and practice.

The event will feature insights from panelists on structural and systemic challenges to providing culturally humble and inclusive care, and propose strategies to address barriers faced by LGBTQ+ communities. The conversation, moderated by Director of the Eidos LGBTQ+ Health Initiative José Bauermeister, PhD, MPH, will focus on how policy levers can be used to drive health equity for the LGBTQ+ community. Attendees will gain a deeper understanding of how research, policy, and practice intersect to support the health and well-being of LGBTQ+ populations. A reception will follow the panel discussion.

This event is part of Penn Medicine’s Health Equity Week and is co-hosted with the Eidos LGBTQ+ Health Initiative at the University of Pennsylvania.
