Members of the Pride Center board presented at the University of Vermont Health Equity Summit on September 24 & 25 to share our ongoing work, community insights, and strategies for building a more connected, accessible Vermont for 2STLGBQIA+ people.
The University of Vermont Health Equity Summit is an annual collaborative conference bringing together healthcare professionals, community advocates, researchers, and local leaders to address systemic healthcare disparities and promote actionable, inclusive solutions across northern New England.
Pride Center Board Members Laura McNamara and Austin G. represented our organization with a poster presentation titled “Operation Pause, Strategic Progress: Community Mapping for a Better Tomorrow.” Austin also took the stage as the project lead for Q***r Era (part of Q***rVT) to deliver an oral presentation on leveraging technology to advance health equity and combat rural isolation.
