Research shows that LGBTQ+ individuals may face disparities in cancer risk and access to care. This Pride Month, let’s stand together to: 1. **Raise Awareness** Share information on how cancer impacts the LGBTQ+ community differently and the importance of inclusive healthcare. 2. **Promote Inclusivity** : Support healthcare providers and organizations that are committed to offering LGBTQ+ friendly cancer screenings and treatment options. 3. **Advocate for Equity** : Push for policies that ensure equitable access to cancer care and research tailored to the needs of LGBTQ+ individuals. 4. **Support Each Other** : Create safe spaces and networks for LGBTQ+ cancer patients and survivors to share their stories and experiences. Together, we can foster a future where everyone, regardless of their sexual orientation or gender identity, receives the care and support they need.

This June, as we celebrate Pride Month, InterSystems recognizes the importance of achieving health equity for the LGBTQ+ community. Data plays a crucial role in connecting marginalized communities with essential care. A 2020 study by the National LGBT Cancer Network, "OUT: The National Cancer Survey," revealed that LGBTQ+ people of color were less likely to seek medical care for various cancers, facing isolation and significant barriers. Access to life-saving care for all requires utilizing the same methods and technologies across all populations, regardless of gender identity or sexual orientation. We applaud those leveraging data to foster a more inclusive continuum of care for LGBTQ+ individuals.

‘Gay job and a day job’: For Pride month, Endpoints News is highlighting LGBTQ+ leaders in the drug development industry for the third year in a row. These 14 individuals are guiding LGBTQ+ employee resource groups; ensuring clinical trials are diverse and representative; launching startups to develop new treatments that their own partners might one day need; paying homage to the patient advocates of the HIV/AIDS epidemic; and so much more outside of biotech (including fun side gigs like running a winery, pub or art gallery, to name a few). We originally planned to highlight 15 individuals this year, but there’s a reason it ended up being 14. I explain why in the intro to the report 👇 I hope you’ll also join us for our free virtual event on Thursday, during which I’ll talk with some of this year’s honorees about the current state of LGBTQ+ inclusion in biopharma, what still needs to be done and a little bit more about these individuals’ personal journeys. #lgbtqplus #lgbtq #pride #biotech #pharma #biopharma #specialreport #lifesciences Fah Sathirapongsasuti Magdalena Tyrpien Vasudev Bailey Dawn Thompson Jason Mellad Susan Acker-Walsh Jon Williams Eric Dube E.

With an average of 7% of U.S. adults identifying as LGBTQ+, including up to 21% of gen Z, healthcare disparities and bias can have negative impacts on patient health and outcomes. 1 in 6 LGBTQ+ adults avoid health care due to previous discrimination. To address cancer risk in the LGBTQ+ community, the American Cancer Society has released a first-of-its-kind study showing that risk is higher in individuals who identify as LGBTQ+, largely related to modifiable risk factors associated with minority stress. Check out the report in the link below. American Cancer Society: https://zurl.co/UBTZ #pride #pridemonth #cancer #LGBTQ+
