Healthcare promotes the wellbeing of individuals and fosters societal resilience by addressing health challenges, preventing diseases, and providing essential medical support. However, marginalized communities, such as the LGBTQ+ community, have historically encountered challenges in accessing inclusive healthcare, facing discrimination, stigmatization, and inadequate understanding of their unique health needs.
In this episode, Max Austin, author of How Can We Be Wrong?, joins us to discuss his experiences as a nurse coming out during the early 1990s HIV/AIDS crisis and ways to advocate for more inclusive healthcare.
