LGBTQ+ Work Group

The ACC’s LGBTQ+ Working Group creates a safe, supportive space for LGBTQ+ professionals and allies within the College. The group promotes awareness of cardiovascular health in LGBTQ+ communities, advocates for reducing health care disparities and fosters connection through education, research and mentorship. It also works to educate individuals and health systems on the unique needs of sexual and gender minorities while building a strong professional network.
