LGBTQ+ Care
LGBTQ+ individuals often face health disparities linked to social stigma, but at Baton Rouge General, we embrace the diversity of our patients and strive to maintain an inclusive environment that provides equal care to patients of all gender identities and sexual orientations. We provide a safe space for LGBTQ+ individuals and encourage open communication. Every patient deserves compassionate care and should be able to be their authentic selves with their provider.
