LGBTQ+ Community Healthcare Resources
LGBTQ+ Friendly Healthcare Services
Finding world-class quality healthcare providers that are inclusive and welcoming to members of the LGBTQ+ community can be challenging and can even become a deterrent for receiving preventative wellness exams and other healthcare services. We understand there are still many inequities that exist as it relates to healthcare, which is why we want to connect your community with our LGBTQ friendly doctors. Our mission as a leading healthcare organization looks to treat the whole patient — regardless of that patient's sexual orientation or gender identity.
When it comes to inclusive patient care, Weill Cornell Medicine has established a welcoming culture and safe environment for the members of the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender community.
