Rainbow Health
In 2017, Rainbow Health Initiative and Minnesota AIDS Project announced we were joining forces to create an organization to lead the work to achieve health equity for diverse gender, sexual, and cultural communities. Rainbow Health helps people navigate healthcare systems by breaking down barriers, especially LGBTQ+ folks, those affected by HIV, and others facing barriers to equitable health care. We bring our purpose to life in two primary ways: - Directly serving and supporting the needs of people who need help, by providing compassionate care that breaks down barriers to better health. - Fighting for better health systems for those erased and excluded, by educating care providers, policymakers, and one another about how to be more just and inclusive.
