We Need YOUR Help!
The Staten Island LGBT Center is putting together a resource directory of
LGBT-friendly, sensitive and knowledgeable health care providers
(doctors, nurse practitioners, chiropractors, dentists, therapists, social
workers and other practitioners who offer health and wellness services) who
practice on Staten Island – and we need YOUR help!
If you utilize, have utilized in the past, or know of a health or mental health
practitioner whom you think fits this description, please tell us their name
and the type of service they provide by clicking here. Any personal
information you disclose to us will be kept completely confidential.
We will contact the providers whose names we receive and ask if they want
to be included in our resource directory. We will then send them a
questionnaire to find out more about them. This questionnaire will not
identify you as the person who named them. It will simply state that they
have been identified as a health care provider who has served LGBT
people on Staten Island.
When complete, our resource directory will help LGBT individuals, couples
and families on Staten Island gain access to health care providers who are
LGBT-friendly and knowledgeable. It will also allow us to financially
support those providers who are LGBT-friendly.
