Check out these LGBTQ+ affirming health services
These resources can help you make the best decisions for your health needs with confidence.
Open enrollment for Health Insurance starts on November 1st, and runs through January 15, 2025. Unfortunately, this can be a cause of stress for the LGBTQ+ community. Statistically, LGBTQ+ individuals are more likely to face difficulty receiving necessary healthcare services and affirming care, ultimately leading to increased risk of worsening health conditions.
As an alternative or even a supplement to health insurance, online telehealth services can provide LGBTQ+ affirming healthcare to people who may not otherwise be able to access them for a variety of reasons.
Seeking LGBTQ+ affirming health resources can be stressful and overwhelming, which is why we want you to be empowered and make the best decision for your health needs with confidence. We’ve researched LGBTQ+ friendly health resources for you to check out.
