At a press conference at Howard University Hospital in Washington, D.C., U.S. Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius introduced the gay-rights organization's 2012 "Report on LGBT Healthcare Equality."

The report rates 407 facilities that responded to a survey.... Over three-quarters ban discrimination against transgender patients. The latter is a remarkable turnaround from the time when the transgendered were openly mocked by doctors and nurses.

----------

Note: you may download a PDF copy of the report, or search for ratings on facilities by US state, by going to http://www.hrc.org/hei/about-the-healthcare-equality-index/
