Did you know that 16% of LGBTQ+ individuals and a staggering 26% of gender-nonconforming LGBTQ+ Americans have faced denial or refusal of medical services? At PicassoMD, we're dedicated to addressing this disparity by empowering healthcare providers with tools for inclusive care. Together, we're striving for equitable healthcare access for all. #PrideMonth #InclusiveHealthcare #ValueBasedCare (Source: https://lnkd.in/e8D6DyBJ)

Reflecting on Pride and Juneteenth last month, we recognize the challenges LGBTQ+ individuals, people of color (POC), and underserved populations face in accessing accurate health information and care. Despite advancements, these groups still report negative experiences with the U.S. health system. Check out our recent blog where we explore some of the barriers that often hinder these groups' sense of comfort and empowerment, and how together we can make #patientcentricity a reality for all. https://bit.ly/45My09E

For queer people, health challenges can be compounded by social stigma, discrimination, and violence, often resulting in delayed preventive health screenings.
