Pride of Rural Virginia Project to host healthcare conversations to better understand needs, experiences of LGBTQ+ community
Virtual Kickoff set for June 12 from 1 to 2:30 p.m.
The Virginia Rural Health Association (VRHA) will host a series of interactive community conversations to better understand the healthcare needs and experiences of LGBTQIA+ people in rural communities across Virginia. We cordially invite all members and allies of our lesbian, gay bisexual, transgender, queer, intersex, and asexual communities to participate in these virtual chats and share their thoughts and concerns regarding rural health.
A virtual event to invite community members and health providers from around the state to learn more about “The Pride of Rural Virginia” project and the opportunity to attend a virtual “Pride of Rural Virginia” community chat in your area!
