"The inclusive, compassionate care Jackson Health System delivers, along with our policies and practices relating to patient and employment non-discrimination, visitation, and cultural competency training for staff, is reinforced by our consistent recognition as a “Leader in LGBT Healthcare Equality” by the Human Rights Campaign’s Healthcare Equality Index (HEI) report. We take great pride in this achievement and in our strong commitment to diversity and the LGBT community."
