Health care for Hamilton's Two Spirit & LGBTQ+ Community

The Hamilton Health Team created an Equity, Diversity, Inclusion and Anti-Racism committee with the goals of providing barrier-free and safe(r) healthcare for Hamiltonians. This survey is geared towards members of the Two Spirit & LGBTQ+ communities. Questions come from community experiences and the Mapping the Void report. It has been divided into four sections, based on the “Health” sections of Mapping the Void. We’re seeking suggestions and recommendations on how to improve Hamilton’s health care services for the Two Spirit & LGBTQ+ community. We will compile the results and present them in a community focus group for further discussion. The data and recommendations from this survey and meeting will then be given to the Hamilton Health Team. 


These recommendations are taken from Mapping the Void. Please click all you agree with and add more, if you can. Please think of healthcare across your lifespan, including end of life.
