“In mid-2016, RHI received a grant from the Otto Bremer Trust. The focus of this grant was to work with health care systems and clinics in outstate Minnesota to provide institutional assessments and trainings to assist in the implementation of the Standards of Inclusion and to continue to build the eLearning modules in order to increase access for outstate clinics and their staff. During 2016, RHI began planning for their first annual, national LGBTQ health conference. The Opportunity Conference: Advancing Health Equity is planned for February 27-28, 2017. RHI contracted with an event planning firm and PR contractor to assist with planning and promotions. Representatives of a variety of LGBTQ organizations and health care providers participated in the program planning for the conference. By the end of 2016, RHI had received a significant number of sponsorship commitments, far exceeding expectations and attesting to the importance of the topics to health care and related organizations.”
