The Wellness at Penn LGBTQ+ Working Group


The LGBTQ+ Working Group oversees planning and protocols specific to the needs of LGBTQ+ students. The group’s activities include (but are not limited to):

  • review of best practices and creation of protocols/visit templates
  • collaboration with campus partners and students
  • advocacy with health insurance contractors
  • education of the staff on LGBTQ+ issues
  • education of the broader university community about LGBTQ+ health issues
  • scholarly work related to LGBTQ+ health 

The Working Group also serves as a point of contact for concerns regarding LGBTQ+ health services. All clinical staff receive training on the inclusive and competent care of LGBTQ+ students. The following staff are members of our LGBTQ+ Working Group and have expanded expertise and interest in this aspect of care:
