We are thrilled to announce this year's LGBTQIA+ Oral Health Week under the guiding theme, “Pride in Knowledge: Transforming LGBTQIA+ Oral Health Through Education.” We know that the LGBTQIA+ community frequently encounters health disparities stemming from medical bias, access barriers, limited social support, and a lack of culturally responsive providers. Together, we are committed to addressing these challenges through the power of education and collaboration. Join us from October 21st through 25th as we explore how education is key to building understanding, breaking down barriers, and ensuring inclusive, affirming care for the LGBTQIA+ community. https://loom.ly/jgva70w #LGBTQoralhealth #PrideInKnowledge
