This activity will recognize the health disparities that impact many LGBTQ and how healthcare providers can gain valuable knowledge about best practices for treating patients as well as building trust with LGBTQ individuals.

The Catholic moral tradition holds that every human being is made in God's own image, and because of that, every person has inherent dignity and should be treated with respect.  As a Catholic Ministry, we embrace the call of the Catechism to treat members of the LGBTQ community with "respect, compassion, and sensitivity." Ascension’s Core Value of reverence calls us to have respect and compassion for the dignity and diversity of life.  The following presentation is intended to promote health equity and address health disparities in care of LGBTQ persons. This presentation and supporting resources are provided by a third party for informational purposes and do not necessarily reflect the values and positions of Ascension, its ministries, or its subsidiaries. As a ministry of the Catholic Church, Ascension abides by the Ethical and Religious Directives for Catholic Healthcare Services and does not recommend, promote or condone any activities that are contrary to the moral teaching of the Catholic Church.
