The Center for LGBTQ Health Equity

At Chase Brexton Health Care, we believe that everyone’s health matters.

And as a health care leader that began as a gay men’s health clinic in 1978, we know firsthand how LGBTQ patients have been traditionally overlooked, ignored, and discriminated against by health care systems.

The Center for LGBTQ Health Equity at Chase Brexton Health Care was created to change this. Through health care services, education, training, research, and advocacy, we are working to end the health disparities that exist within LGBTQ communities and give patients worldwide—regardless of how they identify—the opportunity to live the healthiest life possible.
