Our Partners

ADVOCATE's model centers the power of partnerships to drive impact. For nearly a decade, ADVOCATE faculty have collaborated with community and health system leaders on projects focused on improving the health and healthcare of LGBTQIA+ people and people with HIV. 

Community and health system partner organizations play an integral role at all levels of the ADVOCATE Center. Partner organizations co-designed the ADVOCATE Center's strategic plan and priorities. All ADVOCATE projects include leadership from partner organizations and ADVOCATE faculty. Staff, trainees, clinicians, policymakers, and patients also play active roles in shaping the design and implementation of all ADVOCATE projects. 

ADVOCATE partners include the following organizations:

• Ace Community Survey 
• Asexual Visibility Education Network
• Bisexual Queer Alliance Chicago
• Brave Space Alliance
• Howard Brown Health
• Northwestern Medicine
• Pride Action Tank
