Cultural Competency Task Force LGBTQ Sub Committee
The 2013 Greater Lowell Community Health Needs Assessment highlighted that members of the LGBTQ community are at great risk. The report stated that members who are isolated or without family support are at risk of developing mental health, substance abuse and other issues. There is a lack of sensitivity to this community by many healthcare professionals, a lack of outreach, as well as a lack of awareness of transgender individuals. Individuals in this community tend to go to Boston to seek care, as there is a better sense of acceptance, expertise and confidentiality.The Sub Committee aims to address these concerns.
The next meeting will be on September 24, 2015, 12 – 2pm, 2nd Floor Board Room, Lowell General Hospital, Saints Campus, 1 Hospital Drive, Lowell, MA
For more information, contact: Heather Hilbert or Isa Woldeguiorguis
Marijuana Subcommittee
The Marijuana Subcommittee focuses on the statewide law that passed in 2013 allowing for the medical use of marijuana. One of the groups’ major concerns is the impact of marijuana on the youth in the community.
The next meeting will be on Thursday, November 10, 2016, 10-11:30am
Location: 2nd Floor Board Room, Lowell General Hospital, Saints Campus,
1 Hospital Drive, Lowell
