Healthcare Equality

Providing Inclusive Care for the LGBTQIA+ Community

Boca Raton Regional Hospital is committed to providing inclusive, equitable and compassionate care for all patients, visitors and employees, including gender and sexual minorities. We are proud to be recognized by the Human Rights Campaign Foundation as a Top Performer on the 2021 Healthcare Equality Index—a national benchmarking tool that evaluates healthcare facilities’ policies and practices related to the equity and inclusion of LGBTQIA+ patients, guests and staff.

We strive to decrease healthcare disparities and eliminate discrimination through education and training, superior services, compassionate support, inclusive benefits and policies, patient and community engagement and a welcoming atmosphere.
