Some 2.7 million LGBT people are age 50 or older; this number will double by 2060. LGBT older adults experience health disparities in cardiovascular health, cancer, disability, and behavioral health. They often struggle to access culturally competent and affirming health care and elder services. Many also experience social isolation and aging alone, and discrimination in housing. This session will focus on policy approaches to improve health care and elder care for LGBT older adults and what health centers can do to better serve older LGBT patients.
