Building a Culture of Inclusion for our LGBTQ Patients
Show Notes

In honor of Pride Month, we bring you an episode dedicated to fostering a more inclusive environment for our LGBTQ+ community. Join us as we have a compelling discussion with American Academy of Emergency Medicine President, Dr. Lisa Moreno-Walton and Sacramento LGBT Community Center Health Educator, Matías Castro about the simple, practical ways that individuals can help achieve this goal.
In light of the recent HHS Rule removing discrimination protections for gender queer and trans patients in healthcare, this is a powerful discussion emphasizes exactly why those protections are necessary and the responsibility we have as healthcare providers to welcome our LGBTQ community into the healthcare system.
