LGBTQ2S inclusion playbook: a series of best practices for Healthcare Environments
Kira Liss
This playbook is intended to support people working in acute, primary
and community health and social service environments in fostering
inclusive spaces for LGBTQ2S communities and people. It will provide
medical professionals, care providers, administrative teams and policymakers with tools, resources and guidelines to better understand
and meet the needs of LGBTQ2S people in health care and social
service care settings. The playbook celebrates the work of five health
care providers: Flemingdon Health Care, Michael Garron Hospital,
South Riverdale Community Health Centre, SPRINT Senior Care and
VHA Home HealthCare. These five health care providers are part of a
subcommittee of Solutions – East Toronto’s Health Collaborative, a
broad network of dedicated organizations in East Toronto committed
to LGBTQ2S inclusion. Through showcasing the work of these five
organizations, this playbook will provide effective, evidence-based
strategies to enhance LGBTQ2S patient/client experiences
and health outcomes.
