Rainbow Health to offer training and outreach
There’s a new organization pushing for queer-friendly healthcare in Ontario. Rainbow Health Ontario (RHO) is now running training and outreach projects out of its new headquarters at Toronto’s Sherbourne Health Centre, although it’s not expected to launch officially until fall.
"Human rights legislation and our treatment of lesbian and gay and to some degree trans people has changed a lot for the better," says RHO executive director Anna Travers. "But people are still not very sure how to provide culturally competent care. People still encounter discrimination or, at least, heterosexist approaches in care and treatment, so we want to build knowledge and awareness."
