Services

Hugh Lane Wellness Foundation works to raise health with LGBTQ+ and HIV communities by removing systemic barriers that block LGBTQ+ individuals from attaining health equity.

We provide direct services, resources and programming to connect community members.

When we work together to address social determinants of health, eliminate barriers to care, and support resiliency and joy for our LGBTQ+ communities, we can build healthy minds and healthy hearts.
