Mission

Empowering Excellence, Fostering Inclusivity: The LGBTQ+ Nurses Association of Colorado is dedicated to promoting professional development, inclusivity, and equitable healthcare for all. We strive to create a supportive community that advances the expertise of LGBTQ+ nurses, advocates for LGBTQ+ patient care, and contributes to the overall improvement of healthcare in Colorado.

Vision

A Future of Equality in Healthcare: Our vision is a healthcare landscape where LGBTQ+ individuals receive compassionate, culturally sensitive, and comprehensive care. We envision a future where our members lead the charge in shaping policies, education, and practices that eliminate healthcare disparities and create a safer, more accepting environment for patients and healthcare professionals alike. Through collaboration, education, and advocacy, we aim to transform healthcare into a space where diversity is celebrated, and every individual is treated with dignity and respect.

What this group will not be...

Welcome to Colorado LGBTQ+ nurses, where inclusion and diversity are not just buzzwords, but the essence of our identity. We stand as a beacon of unity, embracing individuals from all walks of life, regardless of race, gender, sexual orientation, or any other aspect of identity.

We firmly believe that diversity is the key to our strength. We reject the notion of exclusion, understanding that true progress is achieved when every voice is heard, every perspective valued, and every person respected. We are not an "anti-group"; rather, we are a community built on the foundation of inclusivity, where differences are celebrated, not condemned.

In particular, we champion LGBTQ+ and professional inclusion, recognizing the unique challenges and contributions of this vibrant community. We advocate for a world where everyone has the freedom to express their true selves without fear of discrimination or prejudice.

Our mission is clear: to foster an environment of belonging, acceptance, and understanding. Through dialogue, education, and activism, we strive to break down barriers and build bridges that unite us all. Together, we can create a future where diversity is not only embraced but celebrated as the beautiful tapestry of humanity.

Join us in our journey towards a more inclusive world. Together, we can make a difference.
