Tomorrow, advocates, community organizers, doctors
and medical students, elected officials, and interested members of the
public will join Obama Administration officials in Philadelphia for an
important conversation on the health needs of
lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) people.
The White House LGBT Conference on Health is hosted by the
White House Office of Public Engagement in partnership with the
U.S. Department of Health & Human Services and
Mazzoni Center. This event is the first in a series of White House
LGBT Conferences that will be held across the country to empower
grassroots leaders, community organizers, advocates, and interested
citizens by connecting them with Federal government information,
resources, and opportunities.
The conference will begin with a morning plenary
featuring remarks by Secretary of Health & Human Services (HHS)
Kathleen Sebelius, Director of the Office of Personnel Management (OPM)
John Berry, Philadelphia Mayor Michael Nutter and Obama
administration officials.
Watch the entire morning session (from 9:00 to 11:45 AM EST)
