About the
2SLGBTQ+ Meaningful Care Conference

Our mission for the conference is to center the lived-experiences of those accessing care, while challenging ourselves to uplift marginalized voices. As a part of that ongoing commitment, in 2024 we partnered with Black & Beyond the Binary Collective (B3C). Black & Beyond the Binary Collective builds the leadership, healing, and safety for transgender, queer, nonbinary, two-spirit, and intersex (TQN2SI+) Oregonians with a focus on Black & Indigenous identities. We envision a future that gives power back to our communities, celebrates self-expression, and preserves dignity, and joy; a future that can center Black queer and Trans communities living fully liberated lives.

The day-long conference seeks to:

  • Promote Two Spirit, lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, intersex + culturally responsive health care and social services by uplifting marginalized voices and centering lived-experience

  • Take an intersectional approach to addressing multi-level health disparities

  • Share updated promising and evidence-based applications of 2SLGBTQ+ culturally responsive health care

  • Develop and diversify networks of 2SLGBTQ+ culturally responsive health care and social service providers

  • Move past equality and equity to center lived-experience, systems-change, and justice

  • Be change-based, with community leading the way on challenging systems


Many people's hands surround the Meaningful Care logo, a black heart shape with white text that reads "Meaningful Care."
