Northwestern Medical Center LGBTQ+ Experiences Survey

As you know, Northwestern Medical Center is rolling out an organization-wide training program to help NMC staff know how to make NMC a more welcoming space for trans and other LGBTQ+ patients and colleagues. To learn more about this project, see this recent blog post.
.
What do you want to make sure your healthcare providers know about providing inclusive care for LGBTQ+ communities? Through this optional survey, you can share experiences you’ve had at NMC (whether positive, negative or something else) and/or suggestions for NMC’s ongoing work on LGBTQ+ inclusion. All the questions are optional, so you can decide what and how much you want to share.
.
The NMC team members and outside consultants who are working on this project will review your input when deciding what training to prioritize next. Your responses are anonymous; the outside consultants will share themes or quotations with NMC, but only in ways that cannot be traced to individuals. If you want to discuss your experience with NMC directly, please contact patient relations.
.
If you have technical difficulties or questions about this survey, please contact Davey Shlasko at davey@thinkagaintraining.com.
