Members foster artistic growth through an open dialogue of insightful criticism and feedback.Submission into the SNAP slideshow is open to all photographers.  For more information visit Untitled or SNAP.

As an LGBTQ+ patient, you should be able to expect the same high-quality care provided to all patients. Unfortunately, this doesn’t necessarily always prove to be the case.

It is, therefore, important to be vigilant about how your data is handled. You have a right to privacy just as you have an expectation of fair treatment.
