In 2014, the Nursing Section became the first section established by GLMA, honoring the legacy and critical role of nurses in healthcare. The GLMA Nursing Section is a professional home for GLMA members who are LGBTQ+ and allied nurses, nursing students, and nurse practitioners dedicated to improving health care and the health of all LGBTQ+ individuals and families. 

The GLMA Nursing Section focuses on making healthcare more LGBTQ+ affirming through practice, education and research, policy, and organizational climate committees. Any GLMA member who supports the goals of the section and is committed to interdisciplinary connections among all health professionals is welcome to join.

As a part of GLMA's 42nd Annual Conference on LGBTQ+ Health the 12th Nursing Section Annual Luncheon took place in Charlotte, NC on October 1, 2024. We extend our heartfelt gratitude to everyone who played a part in making this event a success!

 

After last year's success of the inaugural Nursing Section content track, this year's conference will see the continued integration of Nursing content into the main conference, foregoing its previous standalone day format. This integration marks a strategic move towards fostering interdisciplinary collaboration and maximizing networking opportunities among health professionals. 

Sessions specifically designed for nursing professionals and nursing students will now be represented in the Nursing Track and will take place on Day 2 of the Annual Conference. The Nursing Section Luncheon will also take place on Day 2.
