LGBTQ+ Healthcare Equality Leader
The Office for Health Equity, Diversity and Inclusion in collaboration with the Vice Chancellor’s LGBTQ+ Council and PRIDE Employee Resource Group has taken on the role to complete the required Healthcare Equality Index (HEI) survey. Again, the educational arm of America’s largest civil rights organization working to achieve equality for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and queer people recognized UC Davis Medical Center as a LGBTQ+ Healthcare Equality Leader in 2022.
The award demonstrates commitment to equitable, inclusive care for LGBTQ+ patients and their families, who can face significant challenges in securing quality health care and respect.
