The primary goals of the LGBT Health and Human Services Initiative are to increase access to health care; to improve the quality and appropriateness of LGBT health and human services and to improve health outcomes and quality of life for LGBT individuals and families.

The departments goals will be supported through the promotion of full and equal access to health and human services and by eliminating bias and discrimination based on sexual orientation and gender identity.
