  • The LGBTQ Center of Orange County and the Los Angeles LGBT Center provides support and services to support the health and wellbeing of our LGBTQ+ community. As health care providers we can support patients by educating ourselves on the specific needs and concerns of patients and by having resources handy to help them to navigate accessing health care.
