The Institute of Medicine today released its long-awaited report, The Health of Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender People: Building a Foundation for Better Understanding. The National Institutes of Health commissioned this groundbreaking report, and a distinguished panel of experts dedicated more than a year to evaluating the state of LGBT health research and crafting recommendations for improving the health of the LGBT community.
Hutson W. Inniss, Executive Director of the National Coalition for LGBT Health, and Hector Vargas, Executive Director of the Gay & Lesbian Medical Association, issued a joint statement marking the report’s release.
