Here are three things to know about the recognition.
1. This is the second year in a row CHOP has received the recognition.
2. The healthcare equality leaders were selected based on the Healthcare Equality Index, an annual survey that identifies healthcare institutions that are leading the way in providing equal care for lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender patients.
3. Specifically, CHOP earned top marks in four leadership areas: patient non-discrimination, equality of family visitation, employment non-discrimination and training in LGBT patient-centered care. In October 2015, CHOP hosted Philadelphia Family Pride’s 6th annual Family Matters Conference for LGBT-parented families. The hospital also developed a comprehensive plan to fully engage and educate employees.
