LGBTQ2S+ Health
| Cancer affects everyone in different ways and each of us has our own needs. |  |
|---|---|
| In our cancer programs at Sunnybrook Health Sciences Centre, we recognize our LGBTQ2S+ patients have their own needs. |  |
| We welcome you and want you to feel comfortable sharing your needs with us. | |
|
You may not feel comfortable in the healthcare system. This is often because of negative experiences you may have had when you have used healthcare services. |
|
| Person-centered care is about focusing on those parts of your care that matter most to you. |  |
We want to know what we can do to make your care experience better. |
|
|
If you want to talk to someone about what matters to you, ask your healthcare team. Our staff is trained in diversity and equity. |
