Through specialized clinical services, care coordination, education, and community partnerships, the Center works to eliminate barriers to care and improve health outcomes for LGBTQ+ patients throughout South Jersey and the Delaware Valley.<\/p>\n<p>The Human Rights Campaign Foundation&#8217;s Healthcare Equality Index is considered the nation&#8217;s leading assessment of LGBTQ+ inclusion in health care. Nearly 750 health care facilities participated in the 2026 survey, with fewer than half earning the Healthcare Equality Leader designation.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Health care access for the LGBTQ+ community in 2026 is a tale of both important progress and dangerous setbacks,&#8221; said Kelley Robinson, president of the Human Rights Campaign. &#8220;Even amid extraordinary pressure, many healthcare institutions are continuing to show up for LGBTQ+ patients and staff.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The HEI helps health care organizations evaluate and strengthen policies and practices that support safe, respectful, and inclusive care for LGBTQ+ patients and their families.<\/p>\n<p><strong>About Cooper University Health Care<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Cooper University Health Care is a leading academic health system affiliated with Cooper Medical School of Rowan University.
