2SLGBTQIA+ 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 2SLGBTQIA+ patients have their own needs. |  |
| We welcome you and want you to feel comfortable sharing your needs with us. | |
|
Many 2SLGBTQIA+ people with cancer will not identify themselves to their health care team. You may not feel comfortable in the health care system. This is often because of negative experiences you may have had when you have used health care 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 health care team. Our staff are trained in diversity and equity. |
