LGBTQ Healthcare Scenarios

Doctors

Do you treat your patients with the care they deserve? People who are lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender or queer (LGBTQ) deserve to get the most out of their health care visits. Providers that affirm who LGBTQ patients are and incorporate their sexual orientation, gender identity and gender expression into care can better meet their patients' often complex health care needs. Respect is just as important as the right diagnosis.
