Schweitzer Fellows Symposium, a discussion on health issues facing LGBT older adults. The symposium features two LGBT healthcare leaders: Dr. Magda Houlberg, the Chief Medical Officer at Howard Brown Health Center, as well as Cecilia Hardacker, Geriatric Education Program Trainer at Howard Brown Health Center. The symposium will include a screening of part of the documentary “Gen Silent,” which addresses healthcare disparities in the LGBT older adult community. The goals of the symposium are to explore barriers to healthcare for LGBT older adults as well as the healthcare disparities that exist for this population. While geared towards healthcare students and professionals, anyone interested in learning more about this particular population and their experiences are welcome to attend.
