DC Vote's Coalition Partner - Mautner Project - the National Lesbian Health Organization

The Mautner Project was founded in 1990 following the death of Mary-Helen Mautner in 1989 of breast cancer. Shortly before her death, Mary-Helen asked her partner, Susan Hester, to start an organization that could help other lesbians facing the overwhelming challenges of life-threatening illnesses.

The mission of the Mautner Project is to improve the health of lesbians and their families through advocacy, education, research, and direct service. The Mautner Project envisions a healthcare system that is guided by social justice and responsive to the needs of all people.

The Mautner Project - the National Lesbian Health Organization has been a DC Vote Coalition Partner since January 11, 2006.
