In the HIV/AIDS era, gay men organized, marched, and demanded that medicine move faster. They changed healthcare forever. Dr. Homyra Hadavand trained as a doctor in that era. She calls witnessing that advocacy one of the best things in her career. Her message in this episode: "Now we're going to do it for queer women." Queer women face their own gaps such as delayed screenings, providers who don't ask the right questions, and misinformation. The Full-Spectrum Queer Gyno Care Initiative is how Spectrum Medical answers that gap. It's time.
