A leader in LGBTQ+ health care equality

The Human Rights Campaign is America’s largest civil rights organization focused on equality for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer individuals. The Human Rights Campaign Foundation creates impact through 11 programs and initiatives, working with individuals and organizations to make transformational change in the everyday lives of LGBTQ+ people. The Healthcare Equality Index is the national LGBTQ+ benchmarking tool that evaluates health care facilities’ policies and practices related to the equity and inclusion of their LGBTQ+ patients, visitors, and employees.

The Healthcare Equality Index evaluates more than 2,200 health care facilities nationwide for their dedication and commitment to equitable and inclusive care for LGBTQ+ individuals and their families and 906 health care facilities actively participated in the HEI 2022 survey. It is one of 6 equity, inclusion, and diversity benchmarking surveys that Kaiser Permanente participates in annually.
