LGBTQ+ Community Health Needs Survey Partner Site

It's here! The LGBTQ+ Health Needs Assessment Survey went live on June 1! It has the potential to be a landmark study.

We are depending on you and all the partners to promote the survey and ensure your constituents of the survey’s value, efficacy and anonymity. Success depends on your support. 

To help make it easy for you, we've created this Communication Toolkit with many elements to help promote the survey in a consistently branded and messaged way. Feel free to adapt materials as noted below.
