these Veterans > deserve the best quality care that is provided in an affirming and > welcoming environment.” The HEI evaluates and scores healthcare facilities using four central


pillars: * Foundational Policies and Training in LGBTQ+ Patient-Centered Care * LGBTQ+ Patient Services and Support * Employee Benefits and Policies * Patient and Community Engagement A

partial credit in each section. Hines VA received a perfect score in all categories, except “Responsible Citizenship,” of which the facility was not evaluated. > “While so many 


Transgender women are so afraid of being > themselves in the light of normal day to day living, Transgender > Veterans have nearly all of the support that they might need to > 


transition to and then live as women. For us, that is everything > that makes life worth living,” said Marilu Fanning, a Navy Veteran > when asked about her experience as a Hines VA
