Lesbian Health Fund

Planned Parenthood of Georgia has partnered with the Lesbian Health Fund in our effort to provide physical examinations and health screenings to under and uninsured women. Other partners are the Feminist Women’s Health Center, Family Health Enterprise, and the Center for Black Women’s Wellness. Under and un-insured working women are particularly vulnerable—one catastrophic illness can cost a family their home. Armed with the knowledge that having preventive health screenings allows chronic diseases to be caught early before they become catastrophic, the Health Initiative established the fund to make it possible for lower-income women to access the same preventive screenings as those women with adequate health insurance.

​

The Health Fund is still needed today. Real Bois Talk is working on re-establishing this needed fund. Even though the Mission of Real Bois Talk is focused on the African American Masculine Identified Gay females, the Health Fund will be for the LGBTQ+ community as it was previously.

 

The GOAL is to raise $50,000 in funds just for the community to be able to use and that will get us started. We can only do this via grants, corporation donations, and individual donations.
