"The LGBT population presents poorer results, both in terms of physical and mental health, compared to the cis-heterosexual population. In relation to health issues, the LGBT community has higher rates of mental health (MH) problems such as depression and anxiety; substance abuse (including the use of tobacco, alcohol, and other drugs); and suicide." Historically, the LGBTQ+ community has faced major discrimination and health inequity that can be deadly. It's time for healthcare to be accessible to everyone regardless of sex, gender, and sexual orientation. As someone who is bisexual and non-binary, ensuring every queer person gets their health and mental health needs addressed and treated properly.
Please donate to help pave the way for a more just system where everyone has access to the care they deserve.
We walk out loud to help dismantle the system barriers preventing our most underserved communities from accessing quality health care.
We walk out loud for health equity.
We walk out loud because health care is a human right!
Historically, the LGBTQ+ community has faced disproportionate health care challenges, a reality that persists today. By walking together on October 26, we honor those we’ve lost and strive for a future where health care is accessible to everyone, regardless of sexual orientation, gender identity, or socioeconomic status.
Health equity means all people have the same access to health care, no matter their background or current circumstance. At DAP Health, everyone is welcome, with no one ever turned away due to their inability to pay.
