The crowds who turn out Oct. 12 for the Atlanta Lesbian Health Initiative’s annual Fall Garden Party will get more than an afternoon of fun and fundraising. They will also be treated to the first glimpse of an online health assessment and networking tool that leaders of two of the city’s top lesbian organizations hope will revolutionize their thinking about not only physical health, but how to build healthy communities.

The web-based health survey was developed with help from volunteers with the CDC, and if successful, it could become a model for gay organizations around the country. It will allow participants — not limited just to lesbians, but with a lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender focus — to answer basic questions about themselves and then receive a personalized health assessment.
