At CUNTS-PAC, we believe that every individual deserves access to quality, affordable healthcare, regardless of their sexual orientation or gender identity. Unfortunately, many LGBTQIA+ individuals face significant barriers to healthcare, including lack of access to culturally competent providers, high costs, and discriminatory policies.

LGBTQIA+ individuals face numerous challenges in accessing healthcare, including:

  • Lack of access to culturally competent providers
  • High costs and lack of insurance coverage
  • Discriminatory policies and practices
  • Limited access to specialized care, such as hormone therapy and gender confirmation surgeries

  • Increased access to specialized care, such as hormone therapy and gender confirmation surgeries
