The LGBTQ Health Equity Award recognizes the work of students, faculty, post-docs, and/or staff who have demonstrated a commitment to promoting and improving health for LGBTQ people. The award is presented annually during the school’s awards celebration. The winner also receives a $3000 check and a plaque. If a group wins the award, each member of the group will receive a plaque and the $3,000 will be split amongst the awardees.
