  1. Services and Treatments
  2. LGBTQ+ Patient Support

Physicians and advanced practice clinicians with Lehigh Valley Health Network (LVHN) and Lehigh Valley Physician Group (LVPG) ensure the delivery of comprehensive, personalized care by understanding and incorporating your sexual orientation and gender identity into your care.

Your partnership with your health care provider

Holding open discussions with your health care provider about any health or other concerns you have is important. It is equally important for your health care provider to understand your sexual orientation and gender identity so they can provide the most personalized care for you. If you do not already have a primary care provider, you can use the Find a Doctor search to help identify health care providers who have selected LGBTQ+ care as an area of focus.

Our doctors include those who provide gender affirming care for transgender individuals, those who provide care for youth who are exploring their gender identity and sexual orientation as well as care for adults who are lesbian, gay, bisexual or questioning. Our health care providers will work with you to make sure you receive personalized care and support including:

  • Preventive care screenings
  • Primary care
  • Sexual and reproductive health
  • Family planning
  • Gender affirming medical care
  • Gender affirming surgical care
  • Behavioral health

MyLVHN is Lehigh Valley Health Network’s (LVHN) patient portal. It’s a website (and an app) that lets you interact with your health care providers securely in many patient-focused ways, such as LVHN Video Visits and E-Visits. When you sign up and use MyLVHN, you can enter your preferred name, gender identity, sex assigned at birth and sexual orientation. 

For tips on talking with your health care provider about your sexual orientation and gender identity, check out this resource from the National LGBT Health Education Center.

LVHN Comprehensive Health Services

Our Comprehensive Health Services program offers preventive care, screenings and outreach to the community, including:

  • Care and treatment for HIV, hepatitis B and C, sexually transmitted infections (STI)
  • HIV pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP)
  • Free, confidential testing services
  • HIV and sexual health education classes
  • Risk assessment and risk reduction counseling
  • Gender affirming specialty care
