What other attendees have said about the conference:
"An informative and powerful experience that heightened my awareness of important issues for physicians in caring for the LGBTQ2 patient. The opportunity for serious discussions through networking was appreciated" - Dr Cathy Flood, OBGYN
"Inclusive health is one of the rare health care conferences that brings together both community members and health care practitioners, the dialogue is amazing and I always leave with strategies to improve my practice" - Dr Melanie Lewis, pediatrician
"The conference has provided me with perspective and knowledge about how to be a better ally and healthcare provider for the LGBTQ2S+ community than most of my formal education prior.
