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.
