Health Access Foundation (Reducing LGBTQ Tobacco-Related Disparities Project)

Health Access Foundation serves as the lead organization for the Lesbian, Gay,

Bi-Sexual, Transgender, and Queer (LGBTQ) Statewide Coordinating Center. Health

Access Foundation focuses on the facilitation, coordination, and collaborative flow of

information between LGBTQ regional projects and other CTCP-funded projects. The

Coordinating Center engages diverse LGBTQ stakeholders in an advisory committee and

disseminates information through the project website, listserv, newsletter, and various

social media outlets. It is the Coordinating Center’s priority to engage new voices in

tobacco control efforts to assist in accelerating the adoption of regional LGBTQ tobacco

control efforts by educating and engaging LGBTQ key opinion leaders, developing tailored

messaging for LGBTQ audiences, and educating LGBTQ individuals on how best to

advocate to reduce tobacco-related health disparities.
