We're proud of the award-winning equitable care we provide to our LGBTQ+ patients, and excited to highlight the 🌈 Rainbow Inflammatory Bowel Disease Clinic during Pride! Located at our Mount Zion Hospital, it's the first dedicated IBD clinic for LGBTQ+ folks on the West Coast. Led by Dr. Justin Field, the clinic provides a safe haven and raises awareness within the LGBTQ+ community about the critical importance of IBD screenings. IBD stands for #InflammatoryBowelDisease, which includes conditions like Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis and affects many aspects of daily life. The clinic offers a supportive environment where LGBTQ+ individuals with IBD can feel comfortable and respected while discussing their health needs, and can receive affirming care.

Many LGBTQ+ adults report facing discrimination in health care, and this impacts how they interact with health care in the future. 1 in 6 LGBTQ+ adults, and 1 in 5 transgender adults specifically, avoid health care due to previous discrimination. This is a significant issue with all areas of health, but especially for cancer screening and care. Health professionals must act and learn about LGBTQ+ experiences, inclusive and affirming care and language, and the unique needs and risks for LGBTQ+ populations to ensure health care is welcoming and safe for all. #clinicaltrials #cancerresearch #pride #pridemonth #healthequity #cancer #cancerscreening #cancerprevention #health #healthcare

Physicians are a trusted patient resource for health information. However, data from a Phreesia and Klick survey showed that 67% of LGBTQ+ patients said their doctor never brought up #cancerscreenings, including 48% of LGBTQ+ patients over 45 years old. To help LGBTQ+ patients incorporate more life-saving preventive health measures into their care, patient-provider conversations and broader screening recommendations from physicians are critical. But that’s just one piece of the puzzle. In honor of National #CancerPreventionMonth, we’re highlighting key strategies that can help increase preventive screenings for the LGBTQ+ population: ✔ Close gaps in understanding ✔ Provide patients with educational resources and support materials ✔ Build trust with authentic representation and outreach Read about these strategies and access additional insights in our report: https://bit.ly/3ItQKQB
