LGBTQ Health Program

The Penn Medicine Program for LGBTQ Health is committed to providing the best care for the LGBTQ community in a safe and friendly environment. We are one of the only programs in the nation that's dedicated to serving the LGBTQ community by providing culturally-competent, judgement-free health care, and work in partnership and are supported by the Office of Inclusion, Diversity and Equity and the Penn Medicine Center for Health Equity Advancement.

The Penn Medicine Program for LGBTQ Health has been designated as a "Leader in LGBT Healthcare Equality" by the Human Rights Campaign Foundation, and firmly believes that LGBTQ patients deserve access to respectful, compassionate and equitable health care at all times.

What We Offer at the Penn Program for LGBTQ Health

The Penn Medicine Program for LGBTQ Health aims to increase access to care, quality of care and patient experience for LGBTQ people at Penn Medicine. We act at multiple levels within Penn Medicine to meet this goal.

For patients, we maintain a list of affirming providers for self-referral. Our program also offers LGBTQ patient navigation that can help patients explore options for medical care, update medical records, and problem-solve to address any barriers to care.
