Panel

Care by Design: A panel on health system, policy, and innovation for queer communities

Out on Bay Street 2026

About This Session

Healthcare systems weren't designed with queer communities in mind — and the gaps show up everywhere from intake forms to insurance coverage to clinical training. This panel brings together professionals working in health policy, clinical care, public health, and health tech to discuss what it takes to redesign systems that actually serve 2SLGBTQIA+ people. Expect a forward-looking conversation about what's broken, what's promising, and where the next generation of health leaders can make the biggest impact.
