People who are lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and sexuality or gender minorities are members of every community, come from all backgrounds, and have specific needs when it comes to health care. LGBT individuals are disproportionately affected by many serious health issues, like cancer, and often face health risks and barriers to healthcare related to less safety and socio-economic opportunity.
Everyone deserves comprehensive and appropriate health care. Below are some of the many resources available online – including information intended for healthcare providers to help them care for their LGBT patients. You can bring any of this information to appointments to share with your providers at South Peninsula Hospital and all of our clinics.
