Health and nursing care for lesbian clients should be culturally congruent with their values and lifestyle. Barriers that lesbian clients encounter in the health care system are discussed, along with strategies that health care providers can use to overcome these barriers. Professional literature is reviewed that incorporates health promotion and maintenance issues influencing lesbian health care. Culturally appropriate services that are available in one women’s health center are described, and resources for interested health care providers are provided.
