🌈 Every Life Matters 🌈

Did you know:

🌈 LGBTQ+ people face barriers to high-quality health care, including discrimination and limited provider knowledge of their unique health needs

🌈 Transgender people are less likely to be screened for cervical, colorectal and prostate cancer

🌈 Some LGBTQ+ populations are more likely to have cancer risk factors, including cigarette smoking, heavy alcohol use and excessive body weight

🌈 The cancer burden for LGBTQ+ people is unknown because data on sexual orientation and gender identity are not routinely collected in health care settings

(American Cancer Society...Key Facts about cancer in LGBTQ+ people)

Join us tomorrow for an impactful day where community comes together to share life-saving information and resources. All are welcome. We hope to see you there!
