Removing Health Barriers This Pride Day and Beyond According to National Kidney Foundation, studies have found that over 50% of LGBTQ+ people experience some form of healthcare discrimination. 🏳️🌈 This can cause them to avoid healthcare altogether, often resulting in dire consequences – including increased risk of health problems. At Somatus, we’re focused on removing barriers to care and improving health access for ALL populations. We want to express the importance of equality in healthcare for every member of the LGBTQ + community. Learn more about how you can advocate for yourself and LGBTQIA+ rights, disparities, and how to provide inclusive care here: https://lnkd.in/eqxBnXjm #Healthcare #Equality #PrideDay
