HEI 2024

 

Stony Brook Medicine healthcare system is dedicated to affirming the specific and unique needs of its LGBTQ+ patients, and has been  recognized by the Healthcare Equality Index (HEI) survey of the Human Rights Campaign Foundation. The HEI survey serves as the national LGBTQ+ benchmarking tool that evaluates healthcare facilities’ policies and practices related to equity and inclusion of their LGBTQ+ patients, visitors and employees.

In this year’s 17th annual HEI survey of over 900 facilities nationwide, Stony Brook University Hospital (SBUH), which includes Stony Brook Children’s Hospital; along with Stony Brook Southampton Hospital (SBSH); and Stony Brook Eastern Long Island Hospital (SBELIH) earned the designation of “LGBTQ+ Healthcare Equality Leader” for 2024. All Stony Brook Medicine hospitals received the top score of 100 on the survey, which encompasses non-discrimination and staff training, patient services and support, employee benefits and policies, and patient and community engagement. Stony Brook Medicine received this designation in 2022 as well.  To read the full article, please click here.
