INDIANAPOLIS, IN – As Pride Month celebrations commence nationwide, LGBTQ+ communities reflect on their progress and honor their rich history. However, amidst the spirit of celebration, a wave of anti-LGBTQ+ bills continues to create devastating setbacks in various areas, including healthcare, entertainment, and education. While healthcare is intended to be inclusive, many LGBTQ+ patients experience significant disparities and a lack of trust in the system. As we commemorate Pride Month, it is crucial to acknowledge and celebrate organizations that actively support and uplift LGBTQ+ communities.
OutCare Health, a leading LGBTQ+ healthcare resource, is proud to announce its esteemed 2024 Pride sponsors, who are dedicated to ensuring that everyone, regardless of their sexual orientation, gender identity, or expression, has access to quality and inclusive healthcare. These sponsors understand the urgency of our work and exemplify a commitment to diversity, equity, inclusion, and improving healthcare outcomes for all. Their contributions will support the growth of the OutList, the international LGBTQ+ affirming provider directory, and additional training and education opportunities in the provision of LGBTQ+ care.
All month long, our #PrideInHealthcare campaign is a chance to show our support for LGBTQ+ communities, patients, providers, and our sponsors! Thanks to the efforts of OutCare’s team, Board of Directors, and volunteers, we have identified thousands of providers and public resources nationwide. As OutCare expands, support from donors and partners is essential to sustain our mission and develop new LGBTQ+ affirming initiatives and services. Learn more about our sponsors below and visit our Pride In Healthcare campaign page to hear from our featured providers and testimonials from our sponsors and to shop Pride-themed merch.
