The foundation noted that it also evaluated more than 1,300 hospitals that didn't participate in the survey and found that they were much less likely to have LGBTQ+ non-discrimination policies. For example, it found that only 70% of the institutions it evaluated that didn't participate in the survey had policies for both sexual orientation and gender identity, versus 99% for hospitals involved in the survey.

The recognition won by Cedars-Sinai and the other institutions were based on detailed criteria grouped under four headings: foundational policies and training; LGBTQ+ patient services and support; employee benefits and policies; and patient and community engagement. “While this designation is a significant achievement, we understand that our work is a journey," said  Pamela Weatherspoon, Vice President, Enterprise Diversity, Equity and Inclusion, Huntington Hospital. "We’re proud of our continued efforts to build a culture at Huntington that embraces diversity, equity and inclusion, and we are committed to ensuring equity in all aspects of our work.”  Cedars-Sinai has now participated in the survey three times and has won the top recognition each time.

In addition, Mitchell said the next unconscious bias education program will expand its focus on LGBTQ+ issues. The LBGTQ+ Committee is looking at "connecting the dots across the organization for our LGBTQ+ patients," said Mitchell. As an example, she pointed to the follow-up care that transgender patients need after undergoing gender-affirming surgery.
