The LBGTQ+ community was disproportionately affected by COVID-19 with higher rates of job loss, mental health issues, and public health concerns. Currently, multiple Banner facilities are actively pursuing the Health Equality Index national designation and supporting gender-inclusive care.

The system DE&I team also developed a new LBGTQ+ training for its providers that received national approval by the Human Rights Campaign to use for trainings and certification of its facilities. The team sponsored the 2023 National LBGTQ+ Healthcare Symposium hosted at the University of Arizona; celebrated national LBGTQ+ Health Awareness week; and hosted panel discussions with subject matter experts on LBGTQ+ care with physicians and administrators during PRIDE Month, which captured a record turnout of approximately participants.
