Resources for 
LGBTQ+ Coloradans

CDPHE values the health of all Coloradans. Just like many other communities, people who identify as lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and/or gender expansive, queer and/or questioning, intersex, asexual, and two-spirit (LGBTQIA2S+) are at higher risk of experiencing certain health concerns, inequities, and disparities. The department works to address these disparities so that every Coloradan can lead their healthiest life, regardless of someone’s gender identity or sexual orientation. CDPHE has resources available to help people better understand which health issues impact the LGBTQ+ community the most. These resources will provide you with the tools you need to make informed decisions about your health.
