As Pride Month comes to a close, two of Coachella Valley hospitals are receiving a national recognition for their efforts to provide inclusive care for LGBTQ+ patients.
Eisenhower Health in Rancho Mirage has been named a LGBTQ+ Healthcare Equality High Performer by the Human Rights Campaign Foundation.
Desert Regional Medical Center in palm Springs was named a Healthcare Equality Leader and received a perfect score of 100 on the index.
The designation is apart of the Healthcare Equality Index, which is a national tool that evaluates hospitals on polices and practices related to LGBTQ+ patient care, visitor experience, and workplace inclusion.
Hospitals included in the index say they will continue expanding efforts to ensure respectful and equitable care for all patients.
