When it comes to healthcare, LGBTQ patients face many barriers, including concerns about confidentiality, fear of discrimination and negative attitudes toward treatment. Because of this, it’s estimated that anywhere from 50 to 75 percent of the LGBTQ population does not share their gender identity, gender expression, or sexual orientation with their healthcare provider.
At Summa Health, we provide high-quality, compassionate care for all patients regardless of sexual orientation or gender identity. We understand that the Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, and Questioning (LGBTQ) community has unique health needs and deserves equal, respectful and knowledgeable care.
