The Jefferson Health program is the latest example of an investment in LGBTQ health by a Philadelphia-based health system.
Jefferson Health is now offering a health program with services tailored for LGBTQ patients who are 55 and older at its clinic for seniors in Center City. The focus represents the first of its kind in the Philadelphia region, where several health systems are investing in the growing field of LGBTQ health.
Jefferson officially marked the opening of the clinic last week, but Danielewicz has already started seeing patients. He is prepared to support the specific needs of LGBTQ elders, including “This is not just hanging a flag and saying ‘come on,’” he said. “We are trying to offer comprehensive services.”Penn Medicine appoints first medical director of LGBTQ health. Penn launched a vaccination campaign, but it wasn’t clear who was leading the effort. Now he hopes to shape an inclusive medical culture throughout Penn, including outside of health crises.
