The Lavender Health Alliance at UCLA serves to increase awareness of LGBTQ+ issues in health care, higher education, and the sciences. The Lavender Health Alliance was founded on the principle that every LGBTQ+ individual and ally deserves health equity. We seek to learn about the pressing health issues that these individuals face, to educate others about these issues, and to align ourselves with current and prospective LGBTQ+ health practitioners at UCLA and the community at-large
