Who We Are
 In
1992, a group of Houston lesbians became aware of national research showing lesbians
at increased risk for breast, lung, ovarian and other cancers, as well as heart
disease and stroke. Determined to help reverse this trend, the all-volunteer
Lesbian Health Initiative of Houston was formed.
In
recent years LHI's mission expanded to include transgendered women as well as
lesbian, gay and bisexual women. What We Do and Want To Do
Our mission is to promote
womens' health in the Lesbian, Gay, Bi-sexual and Transgendered communities. To
accomplish this we will: - Provide
education and health resources to our community.
- Establish
government and private agency liaisons to initiate and support funding of programs
to promote health and wellness.
- Form
partnerships with health care providers willing to ensure that women in our community
have access to sensitive and responsible health care.
