The Pride Provider Program is an initiative of the Greater Columbus LGBTQ Health Coalition and was created to connect lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and queer community members with health and social service providers who are committed to providing LGBTQ-centered care. Pride Providers are those that meet criteria determined by the coalition to be critical to the provision of culturally competent care. Participation is voluntary and all certified providers have affirmed their compliance with the four criteria.
Those of you who came to our Central Ohio LGBTQ Health Equity Conference at the end of October were given a first look at out 2015 Pride Provider Listings. We're pleased to announce that over 40 individual practitioners in the Central Ohio area were certified in four areas of LGBTQ cultural competency. To learn more about the certification criteria, process, or how to become a Pride Provider, please visit here.
Without further ado, here are the 2015 Pride Providers, arranged by broad specialty (also listed here):
