Update | 63: Affirming Care Ally
People of all gender and sexual identities need and deserve respectful, affirming healthcare free of barriers, stigma or discrimination. As we celebrate, support, and proudly show our colors during #PrideMonth, we’re reconnecting with nurse Dallas Ducar, founder and CEO of Transhealth to discuss the ever-increasing health disparities facing the LGBTQIA+ community, especially with the dramatic rise in laws attacking and limiting access to gender-affirming care. In this updated episode, we hear from this entrepreneur, path maker and healthcare activist about her comprehensive healthcare center that supports and empowers trans and gender-diverse individuals and families; her perspective on the legislative environment and nurses’ role in ethics, advocacy, and policy making; and ways to secure a healthy, affirming future for all of us.
