Promoting Lesbian health. (Groups News).

"Why would I go to the doctor if I don't feel sick?" "What rights does my partner have if I am hospitalized?" "I am not going to the gynecologist because I feel uncomfortable." These are some of the questions and concerns that lesbian women express about their health care. These issues constitute the central topic of an interesting educational audiovisual series entitled Nuestra Salud: Lesbianas latinas rompiendo barreras (Our Health: Latin Lesbian Breaking Barriers). Throughout the videos, many women share their personal experiences on these and related topics, recognizing the difficulties of caring for their health; the perspectives of the health professionals who treat them are also included.
