Celebrating and Supporting Our LGBTQIA+ Community
Day of Learning, Celebration, and Community Building for
The Visiting Nurse Association Health Group
Lex is a Day of Learning, Celebration, and Community Building for The Visiting Nurse Association Health Group on Thursday, August 7th, 2025.
We’re proud to host a day of meaningful and energizing events created with and for LGBTQIA+ members of our VNA family.
Together, we’ll explore:
• Resilience strategies for mental, emotional, and spiritual well-being
• Identity as a source of strength
• Staying grounded in uncertain or hostile environments
• The role of community in sustaining and protecting us
We’re excited to welcome back Lex Horwitz (he/they), a nationally recognized educator and advocate known for creating affirming spaces for queer and trans communities. Lex brings powerful energy, personal storytelling, and practical strategies to help organizations like ours grow in clarity, connection, and confidence.
