About this directory
How listings work
How providers are included
Providers in this directory are included based on publicly available information indicating LGBTQ+ affirming services or practices. This may include:
- Published statements of LGBTQ+ affirming care on a practice’s website
- Listed participation in LGBTQ+ health programs or community resources
- Publicly identified specialization in gender-affirming care, sexual health, or related services
- Community health directories and verified referral networks
- Provider submissions reviewed by the LGBTQHealthcare team
Inclusion is based on available information at the time of listing and may not reflect changes to a practice’s services, staff, or policies. Provider information is reviewed and updated over time as corrections and new information become available.
What “publicly affirming” means
When we describe a provider as publicly affirming, we mean that the provider has publicly indicated — through their website, directory listings, or community presence — that their practice welcomes and serves LGBTQ+ patients.
This is not a certification, a personal vetting, or a guarantee. It means the provider has made this information publicly available and we have included them based on that public record.
What this directory is — and isn’t
LGBTQHealthcare is an informational directory. It is not:
- A medical referral service
- An endorsement of any provider
- A guarantee of any specific experience of care
- A substitute for your own assessment of a provider
A listing here means a provider appears in publicly available records as LGBTQ+ affirming. It does not mean LGBTQHealthcare has personally visited, interviewed, or verified every provider listed.
Verifying provider information
Before scheduling with any provider, we encourage you to confirm directly:
- That the provider is currently accepting new patients
- That they accept your insurance or offer payment options that work for you
- That they offer the specific services you are looking for
- Their current address, phone number, and hours
- Any specific LGBTQ+ affirming practices or certifications they hold
Provider information changes. A practice may have moved, changed staff, or updated its services since the listing was created or last reviewed.
Reporting incorrect or outdated information
If you find a listing with incorrect information — wrong phone number, address, name, or category — you can request a correction through the listing update form.
Submitting a provider for inclusion
Healthcare providers who offer LGBTQ+ affirming services can submit their practice for review and inclusion. Submissions are reviewed by the LGBTQHealthcare team.
Community members can also suggest providers they believe should be included.
Claiming or updating your listing
If you are a provider or practice representative and your listing contains incorrect information, you can claim it and request corrections.
