This commentary examines the impact of poverty on health and healthcare access for Indigenous, Black, racialized and migrant Two-Spirit, lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer and other sexual and gender minority (2S/LGBTQ+) individuals. It highlights the necessity of inclusive policies and strategies to tackle their unique challenges, including high poverty rates, unemployment, homelessness and intersecting oppressions in the housing and healthcare sectors. Emphasizing the need for comprehensive research to guide policy and practice, this paper calls for structural changes in healthcare and advocates for intersectional training across healthcare, education and public policy domains. It urges healthcare leaders to prioritize and meet the specific needs of these communities, aiming to improve their socio-economic conditions.
