As the Deputy Commissioner for the Division of Disease Control at the New York City Department of Health and Mental Hygiene, Demetre C. Daskalakis uses his clinical and public health background to develop efficacious systemic and community-level interventions across the city. In this podcast, Dr. Daskalakis discusses the health department’s approach to delivering comprehensive Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Queer (LGBTQ) sexual health education and programming. Recognizing that public health approaches can be highly variable among jurisdictions, he presents replicable strategies that can improve the health care of LGBTQ people. Among these are the development of a jurisdictional LGBTQ Health Care Bill of Rights, the launch of the Bare It All campaign and the dissemination of city health information bulletins for providers. Dr. Daskalakis joins others in the field who are humanizing conversations about health and working to bridge the disconnect between health departments and the communities they serve in their effort to achieve health equity for all.
