What are your experiences with healthcare?

Come share your stories at The Centre on Thursday, March 29th from 2-7pm! 

A group of third year nursing students from University of British Columbia- Okanagan are interested in hearing the thoughts, experiences, and opinions of how gay, lesbian, bisexual, and transgendered individuals have been treated within the Canadian Healthcare System.

 
Through conducting interviews with members of the GLBT community, we hope to gain a broader understanding of the GLBT health care experience - either positive or negative. We are hoping to film these interviews, however, alternative arrangements can be made based on the preferences of our volunteers.
