GLBTQ Student

UHS understands that those who identify as gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender, queer or questioning may have concerns about confidentiality, sensitivity and inclusive health care.

We recognize and respect the diversity of our campus and are committed to providing services responsive to the needs of students, staff and faculty of all sexes, genders and sexual orientations.

Seeking medical consultation or treatment can be challenging, even if you have years of experience managing your health. UHS offers a safe, supportive environment and a wide variety of services, including:


Coming Out

Coming out is a lifelong journey where one decides to be open and honest about their sexual orientation or gender expression and identity. Figuring out who you are and how you identify can take time, and may be difficult.

There are many campus resources that can help you explore your identity and offer support, including UHS' Mental Health Services office and The Stonewall Center.

Coming out to your health care provider may be of particular concern to you. We understand that sharing this information isn't always easy, and strive to provide a safe, supportive, confidential environment in which to discuss personal issues and obtain the best possible health care.
