On behalf of my co-chair, Dr. Violet Siwik, and myself, we would like to welcome you to the UAHS LGBTQ+ Interest Group at the University of Arizona!
The UAHS LGBTQ+ Interest Group serves our four Health Sciences Campuses (College of Medicine, College of Pharmacy, College of Nursing and College of Public Health). We work toward creating and maintaining a safe, inclusive, and equitable environment for LGBTQ+ students, staff, faculty, residents, fellows, and patients. Our group aims to sustain visibility and a sense of community throughout our four colleges' sites and to provide programming and education on LGBTQ+ issues which pave the path towards understanding the adversities faced by those who are marginalized. We are committed to building workplace equity, promoting student & staff leadership, and providing high-quality, culturally-congruent care to our patients. We take an intersectional approach to our work and believe that combating one form of oppression means combating all forms of oppression. We are committed to promoting equity and respect for all people and strive to build a community of inclusivity at the University of Arizona.
We invite you to partner with us in making the University of Arizona Health Sciences Center a safer and inclusive space for all. We look forward to the opportunity of engaging in dialogue and meeting you around campus. Please feel free to contact us and our staff for any questions or concerns.
