This episode focuses on LGBTQ health, health disparities, and health inequities that have persisted for generations. LGBTQ+ individuals are less likely to have a primary care physician due to health disparities that continue to plague medical education and practice. This episode features Dr. Stacy De-Lin, a board certified gynecologist and family medicine physician who discusses her stance of LGBTQ+ health from the lens of a physician but also as a proud bisexual individual. Dr. De-Lin sees first hand in her medical practice how health disparities and lack of preventive care can directly effect the health of LGBTQ+ individuals long-term. This episode also features Maggie Hawkins, MPH, CHES who has a long history of providing health education for members of the LGBTQ+ individuals and other individuals in public health settings. Maggie is a proud member of the LGBTQ+ community and works hard to mitigate health disparities within her community; she has seen first hand how epidemics like the HIV/AIDS epidemic in the 80's in America has had long-standing effects on the treatment of gay individuals in medical settings, but also how it has affected the lives of close friends she has lost due to HIV/AIDS. This episode serves as a catalyst for further action and education for medical professionals, policy makers, public health professionals, etc. to provide improved policies and care for members of the LGBTQ+ community.
