Linda Ellis
Executive Director

Linda Ellis has served as the Executive Director of the Atlanta Lesbian Health Initiative since January of 2002. Linda has Master degrees in both theology and family therapy. A licensed therapist, she is a skilled organizational leader with a proven ability to generate support in a variety of stakeholder communities. Prior to taking the reins at the Health Initiative, Linda served as the first Executive Director of YouthPride, a nonprofit organization offering support and services to gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender youth


In a world where women's health is often overlooked, lesbian health services are virtually non-existent. The Health Initiative is the only non-profit organization in the state of Georgia supporting and advocating for lesbian health. In her role as Executive Director, Linda has expanded both the reach and reputation of the organization, developing a statewide network of healthcare providers committed to providing culturally sensitive care and insuring that lesbian voices are increasingly included in conversations of women's health on local, regional and national levels.
