SAGE Checklists Our friends at SAGE and SAGECare have created easy checklists for individuals seeking hospice and for provider organizations to help identify hospice spaces that are welcome and affirming to LGBTQ+ patients, partners, chosen family, and caregivers.
The downloadable checklists highlight what to look for (if you are seeking services) or to provide (if you offer services), from visible nondiscrimination policies and inclusive materials to respectful language (including names and pronouns), confidentiality around sexual orientation and gender identity, bias-interruption training, and inclusive bereavement and spiritual care, so you can feel safer, respected, and supported throughout end-of-life care.
The printable PDF checklists can be accessed here:
