We're proud to share that the Annex has been recognized as an LGBTQ+ Healthcare Equality High Performer in the 2026 Healthcare Equality Index (HEI), earning a score of 95 out of 100. The Human Rights Campaign Health Equity Index is the nation’s leading benchmarking tool for evaluating healthcare organizations on policies and practices that support LGBTQ+ patients, visitors, and staff.
This recognition reflects the intentional work our team does every day to create a welcoming, affirming, and equitable environment for all young people. At the Annex, we believe every young person deserves access to healthcare that respects and celebrates who they are. That commitment is reflected not only in our services, but in our values and approach to care.
At a time when LGBTQ+ youth continue to face barriers to care, we remain committed to ensuring they have access to trusted, confidential, and affirming healthcare and education.
Thank you to our staff, supporters, and community partners who help make this work possible.
