Practice with Pride
This year's conference theme, Practice with Pride, serves as a powerful reminder of the collective power of pride as we shape a better and healthier future for the LGBTQ+ community. The theme underscores the profound connection between LGBTQ+ representation, allyship, and health equity, recognizing that a healthcare system that authentically reflects and respects the diversity of the population it serves is better equipped to address the unique needs and challenges faced by LGBTQ+ individuals.
By practicing with pride, health professionals create a more inclusive and equitable healthcare landscape for everyone.
