Dean's Lecture Series

"Expanding the Rainbow: Understanding the Health Care Needs of the LGBTQIA+ Community"

Vanessa Pomarico-Denino
Ed.D., APRN, FNP-BC, FAANP

Tuesday, December 3, 2019
5 -7 p.m.
Wilde Auditorium

The LGBTQIA+ population has evolved over the past several years to include other gender non-conforming and gender minority populations. The individual needs of each population within this acronym vary and as a result need to have specialized, focused care in order to meet their health care needs. These gender and sexual minorities still encounter issues concerning sexuality, identity, gender and freedom of expression with their health care providers. This session will focus on how to approach the care of the LGBTQIA+ patient and address their specific needs in an effort to promote patient-centered care. Learn more here.
