The Human Rights Campaign, a national LGBTQ rights organization, has suspended two Dallas hospitals from its scoring system on health care inclusivity...

and increased chances of abuse and stigmatization, according to the state and nation’s most prominent child welfare and medical groups.

HRC requested a meeting with hospital leadership in mid-November to discuss the closure of Genecis to new patients. The meeting was scheduled for early December and then canceled, according to the letter. “We’d like to see some transparency about what is happening. But, more importantly, the parents and the kids out there that are seeking care really want to know it,” Tari Hanneman, director of the HRC Foundation Health and Aging Program, said in an interview. “There’s a lot of fear and confusion about being able to access this care and a lack of clarity from the institutions about what care is being provided.

Unless there is a “change of course,” HRC officials say they will apply a 25-point deduction that is part of the “responsible citizenship criteria” to the hospitals’ 2022 scores. Both hospitals will be featured in this year’s health care equality index report, which is anticipated to be released at the end of March.
