Queer Awareness Days (QuAD) at Stanford
QuAD is a month-long series of events dedicated to increasing awareness about LGBTQ issues through educational, social, and political activities.
LGBT-Meds hosted Dr. Dawn Harbatkin who spoke on "Healthcare and the LGBT Community" on April 26th, 2006 at 6:00pm in the Clark Center Auditorium (BioX).
Dawn Harbatkin, MD is the Medical Director at Lyon-Martin Women's Health Services, a community clinic in San Francisco providing personalized health care and support services to women and transgender people who lack access to quality care because of their sexual orientation or gender identity, regardless of their ability to pay. Prior to her work at Lyon-Martin, Dawn served as the Medical Director of Callen-Lorde Community Health Center in New York City, a Federally Qualified Health Center primarily serving the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender community. A graduate of Columbia University College of Physicians and Surgeons and the Residency Program in Social Medicine at Montefiore Medical Center, Dawn now works as both a clinician and administrator, addressing health concerns at both the individual and public health levels. She has served on the Board of Directors of the Gay and Lesbian Medical Association and been a member of the Coalition of LGBT Health Concerns. Aware of how the lack of access to quality, compassionate health care has affected the LGBT community, she has been heavily involved in educating health care professionals in training about the health concerns of LGBT populations.
