The Summit's leadership team includes key figures from LGBTI health centers, such as Philadelphia's Mazzoni Center, the City of Philadelphia, researchers and educators from institutes and universities (including our partner and co-sponsor, Drexel University School of Public Health), health care practitioners, grass-roots activists, consumers, and more.
This year's theme, "Beyond Boundaries: A Blueprint for LGBTI Healthcare Equality," is a national call to all LGBTI communities and our important allies from across this nation to come together to develop ad long-term strategic plan for LGBTI health and wellness. The Summit will cover a full range of LGBTI health concerns, ranging from physical and mental health, to social issues such as universal healthcare access, to community building and organizing.
While the summit will include speakers, panels, workshops, and organizing meetings, it will also include interactive exercises, experiential education activities, yoga and other forms of self-care, as well as creative festivities.

Just one of the many workshops
The Healthy Impact of a Transsexual or Intersex person
Taylor H
Taylor is a post-op intersex male, has conducted research nationwide for over a decade in regard to transsexual and intersex persons, and has published his work.
With a focus on the Transsexual and Intersex identity, this work shop will aid everyone in the LGBTI community in healthy living through a better self perception.
Through the use of Play Doh, this workshop offers you a chance to gain a better understanding of yourself, interact with others, and find out how intersex and transsexual variables also relate in regard to your own identity. Find out where your identity variables line up on the identity spectrum through class activities.
Discuss how changing your own self perception from conditions to natural states of being, can aid in your individual health, and the future health care system. This workshop is interactive allowing you to join in and discover more about yourself while sharing with others.
