Florida Medical Center intentionally grows a culture of inclusion in order to promote equal access to healthcare services for every person we treat. Equality in healthcare requires a compassionate culture, a shared vision, and a community presence. FMC actively pursues these values and has been recognized since 2016 as a ‘Leader in LGBT Healthcare Equality’ by the Foundation of the Human Rights Campaign.
