Affirming Care for Everyone

Affirming care for everyone means providing respectful, supportive healthcare that recognizes and honors each person’s identity, experiences, and choices. It involves creating a safe environment where individuals feel valued and understood, regardless of their gender, sexual orientation, or background. This approach includes using preferred names and pronouns, understanding specific health needs, and addressing potential disparities or barriers. The goal is to ensure all patients receive compassionate, personalized care that affirms their sense of self and promotes overall well-being.
