inclusive+
Founded in 2022, inclusive+ aims to enhance LGBTQIA+ healthcare by training providers and connecting patients with affirming care. Currently, only 4.4% of primary care providers receive adequate training in the specific health needs of the LGBTQIA+ community. inclusive+ addresses this issue with a diagnostic tool that creates personalized continuing education plans to help providers deliver more affirming and competent care.
Once trained, these providers are listed in a vetted directory, making it easier for LGBTQIA+ patients to find culturally competent care. The platform empowers patients to trust their providers and access high-quality healthcare that meets their needs.
inclusive+ was one of eight teams awarded the prestigious 2023 Polsky Founders’ Fund Fellowship. Co-founded by Lori Ebenstein ’17, Anna Jacobs, and Monika Lach, inclusive+ is dedicated to understanding and addressing the unique needs of both LGBTQIA+ patients and healthcare providers, working to bridge disparities through meaningful and tailored solutions.
