Today is National Coming Out Day! Hatch acknowledges and celebrates those who have come out as LGBTQ+! We strive to create safe spaces where everyone feels valued and supported, especially in the healthcare community. Acceptance and support matters. “The LGBTQ youth are at a higher risk for substance use, sexually transmitted diseases (STDs), cancers, cardiovascular diseases, obesity, bullying, isolation, rejection, anxiety, depression, and suicide as compared to the general population.” – National Library of Medicine
