Norton Medical Group proudly pursues our mission to improve the health of our community and all those within it by maintaining an inclusive environment in which our employees, volunteers, medical staff and leadership understand, respect and reflect the diversity of the people we serve and continuously strive to set the standard for quality and caring.

Earlier this year, Norton Healthcare was designated a 2018 Leader in LGBTQ Healthcare Equality by the Human Rights Campaign as a part of the annual Healthcare Equality Index (HEI). In its 11th year, HEI 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.

Education and awareness of LGBTQ patient health disparities and issues for our providers is of utmost importance. Please take some time to enroll in the Human Rights Campaign’s free educational opportunities regarding providing care to the LGBTQ patient population. Your wealth of knowledge on health topics surrounding this patient population will continue to make Norton Healthcare a Leader in LGBTQ Healthcare Equality and improve patient satisfaction and trust.

After completing any of the HEI training series, you can apply for continuing medical education credit.
