NYC H+H on LGBTQ health

As part of its commitment to becoming a leader in quality care for Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender patients, New York City’s public hospital system developed two training modules that it is urging all staff members complete by December 1, 2016:

• “An Introduction to your LGBTQ Patients” has new information on LGBTQ best practices and NYC Health + Hospitals policies.
• “An Introduction to Your LGBTQ Co-Workers” describes LGBTQ workplace concerns and how nurses can create and participate in a welcoming workplace that is comfortable for all.

For more information on these training modules, call NYC H+H’s Mark Winiarski at 212.442.3895 or e-mail LGBTQ@nychhc.org.
