Comprehensive LGBT Health Center


Metropolitan Hospital's Comprehensive LGBT Health Center is designed to focus on the health needs and disparities specific to the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) community. 

Metropolitan received the distinction of being recognized as a "Leader in LGBT Healthcare Equality" from the 2014 Human Rights Campaign's Health Equality Index, which recognizes organizations that have met broad criteria that actively engage in protecting LGBT patients and employees from discrimination, ensuring equal visitation for LGBT people, and providing staff training in LGBT patient-centered care. Metropolitan is the first NYC public hospital to receive the designation. Our team is committed to addressing the physical and mental health needs of all our patients with dignity and respect.

The Comprehensive LGBT Health Center offers individual and family-based care, in the following areas:

  • Women's Health
  • Men's Health
  • Transgender Health
  • OB/GYN Care
  • Pediatric/Young Adult Care
  • Geriatric Care
  • Addiction Counseling and Rehabilitation Services
  • Disease Risk Reduction and Prevention

  • Behavioral Health Services
  • Community-specific Support Groups
  • HIV/STD Screening and Treatment
  • Smoking Cessation
  • Family Planning
  • Immunizations
  • Linkages to other Specialty Services

The Comprehensive LGBT Health Center is staffed by culturally competent, trained staff and physicians, in an open and honest environment that can provide care that respects the unique health needs of our patients.
