LGBTQ+ Health Services
Personalized Care, For Everyone
Middlesex Health is committed to providing quality care for Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, and Queer/Questioning+ members of our community in a safe, friendly and compassionate environment. We understand the challenge of finding inclusive, affirming health care that is free from discrimination or bias—especially during these challenging times.
We have developed a comprehensive set of LGBTQ+ clinical services across our health care continuum. We are one of only eight health care facilities in the State of Connecticut to be recognized by the Healthcare Equality Index as a LGBTQ Healthcare Equality Leader.
