Toward better care for lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender patients.
Studies have shown that the health status of lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) people generally is worse than that of the population as a whole.

This article describes ways physicians can begin to better care for this population and provides tips for making practices more welcoming to LGBT patients.
