Abstract
This president's column provides the current position of the Collaborative Family Healthcare Association (CFHA) in reference to the law passed in North Carolina on March 23, 2016, limiting the civil rights of LGBTQ people. This law troubles the CFHA deeply. This is an organization that promotes collaborative patient- and family-centered care. It currently celebrates diversity and rejects discrimination in any form. After considerable thought and review of alternative actions, the Board of CFHA determined that our best course is to proceed with plans for an annual conference in Charlotte, a city that has attempted to strengthen legal protection of the rights of its LGBTQ citizens. CFHA will use this opportunity to demonstrate our support for inclusion and cultural competence by convening a robust and timely conversation about the underlying issues raised by House Bill 2 and our role as collaborative care professionals.
