BU’s Carl Streed Is Recognized by the American Medical Association for Outstanding LGBTQ+ Healthcare
From The Brink by Jessica Colarossi. July 10, 2023. With lawmakers across the country narrowing LGBTQIA+ rights, research aiming to improve the health of lesbian, gay, bisexual, trans, queer, and gender nonconforming individuals comes with a renewed sense of urgency and importance. Already this year, more than 400 anti-LGBTQ+ bills have been introduced in state legislatures across the country—more than twice the number from last year—with most targeting sex and gender education in schools and transgender healthcare for adults and youth. In June, the advocacy group Human Rights Campaign for the first time declared a state of emergency for LGBTQ+ people in the United States.
Amidst the chaos, there are doctors, healthcare professionals, and researchers who show up to their jobs every day to serve the LGBTQIA+ community. Carl Streed, the research lead for the GenderCare Center at Boston Medical Center (BMC), Boston University’s primary teaching hospital, is one of them.
