The Health Law Institute is excited to share that we’re working with Rainbow Health on their All Gender Health fall 2023 conference! Mitchell Hamline will be hosting it in-person on campus on Saturday, October 28th from 9am-3pm.
Show support for their great line up of speakers and get updates on real time issues the transgender and non-binary communities are facing. More details and registration can be found on Rainbow Health’s website.
Event Details
This year’s conference dives into the intricate tapestry of health and legal realms, with a focused theme on “Beyond Barriers, Beyond Binaries: Navigating Health and Legal Landscapes”. At the heart of our discussions and sessions is the imperative to spotlight efforts that center the experiences and needs of Queer, Trans and gender non-conforming individuals. The conference brings together a diverse community of lawyers, advocates, providers, and community members who are committed to challenging and overcoming systemic and institutionalized barriers that disproportionately impact LGBTQIA2S+ communities.
The event is currently pending for 3 CLE credits.
