Rainbow Health Network is a founding partner of the new resource centre, Rainbow Health Ontario (RHO).   Rainbow Health Ontario's new website was launched on November 28, 2008. Be sure to take a look at it – www.RainbowHealthOntario.ca."RHO is a province-wide program that works to improve the health and well-being of lesbian, gay, bisexual and trans people in Ontario through education, research, outreach and public policy. Our mission is to improve access to services and to promote the health of Ontario’s lesbian, gay, bisexual and trans communities. We are based at Sherbourne Health Centre in downtown Toronto and our team consists of 4.5 staff in Toronto and 14 part-time Community Outreach Team members, one in each of Ontario’s Local Health Integration Networks (LHINs). Our comprehensive website provides:

1. A Resource Database featuring LGBT health and wellness resources from Ontario, Canada and around the world
2. An LGBT Provider Directory listing LGBT-positive service providers and programs around the province
3. A Trainer Database featuring profiles of trainers and educators who provide LGBT education and training in Ontario
4. A Researcher Database featuring profiles of LGBT health researchers from academic institutions across Ontario
5. An Events Calendar listing upcoming LGBT health and wellness-related events and activities across the province, as well as events of interest outside of Ontario

We welcome contributions to all of these areas of the RHO website. We invite everyone to submit their health and wellness resources to the Resource Database and their events to the Events Calendar. If you provide a health or wellness program or service to LGBT people, we invite you to be included in the LGBT Provider Directory. If you are a Trainer or a Researcher, we invite you to submit your profile for inclusion in our databases. We encourage you to share this information with your community members, friends and clients across Ontario. To learn more, please visit: www.RainbowHealthOntario.ca"
