Healthcare professionals are expected to provide culturally inclusive care for the lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, or questioning (LGBTQ+) community. This course examines LGBTQ+ terminology and healthcare disparities in the LGBTQ+ community, presents The NJ SENATE Bill 2545 as a national model of establishing certain requirements concerning LGBTQ+ community residents of long-term care facilities. Attendees will assess their individual and organizational understandings/beliefs/biases of the LGBTQ+ community as it relates to healthcare needs, especially at the end of life and create an action plan to take back to their healthcare organizations.
