Wandered across this cool website. Check it out for great information about our people’s increased risk, special needs and our mission to help each other.
The purpose of the National LGBT Cancer Network is:
The National LGBT Cancer Network works to improve the lives of LGBT cancer survivors and those at risk by:
- EDUCATING the LGBT community about our increased cancer risks and the importance of screening and early detection;
- TRAINING health care providers to offer more culturally-competent, safe and welcoming care; and
- ADVOCATING for LGBT survivors in mainstream cancer organizations, the media and research.
The National LGBT Cancer Network was formerly known as The LGBT Cancer Project.
Check out their website HERE. You can complete a screening, find out about risk factors and look up medical professionals in the area who may be able to help.
There is a “hub” in Portland Oregon. Fabulous PDX is sending off for more information about it! Stay tuned.
