LGBTQ+ Program

Medical Care for the New Jersey LGBTQ+ Community

At our facilities, we strive to meet the diverse health care needs of our community. The LGBTQ+ program is part of our initiative to provide quality health care to the Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Queer, Intersex, Asexual (LGBTQ+) community. Our hospitals and medical centers are welcoming, inclusive environments where people from all walks of life can seek the medical care they need.

Nationally Recognized Diversity Programs

LGBTQ+ services are not specialized medical services, rather, they are policies intended to eliminate the disparities in care LGBTQ+ patients often face when seeking medical care. Several of our hospitals have been awarded the Leader in LGBTQ+ Healthcare Equality recognition by the Human Rights Campaign Foundation. This requires us to meet certain criteria:

  • Ensure foundational protection for patients, visitors and staff in patient and staff policies and provide cultural competency training on LGBTQ+ inclusion
  • Demonstrate progress toward inclusion on LGBTQ+ patient care and support
  • Cultivate an inclusive workforce by providing LGBTQ+ inclusive employee support and benefits
  • Demonstrate public commitment to the LGBTQ+ community

Our staff regularly creates and attends community events that promote LGBTQ+ inclusion. We also aim to educate the community to counteract misleading information regarding common health concerns in the LGBTQ+ community.
