Our commitment to LGBTQA+ health care
The University of Toledo Medical Center is dedicated to providing the best health care possible for the individuals and diverse community we serve.
A leader in health care equality
The University of Toledo Medical Center’s commitment to the equal treatment of all lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer and/or questioning patients has been consistently recognized since 2011 by the Human Rights Campaign Foundation with its “Leader in LGBTQ Healthcare Equality” designation.
The Health Equality Index is sponsored by the Human Rights Campaign, which is America’s largest civil rights organization working to achieve LGBTQA+ equality. In addition to being a valuable tool and resource for health-care facilities, the Health Equality Index is used by LGBTQA+ patients and their loved ones to find facilities that provide equitable and inclusive care.
UTMC is the only medical facility in northwest Ohio to earn this distinction and one of only 24 in the state of Ohio.
