Cleveland Clinic is set to open the LGBTQ+ Clinic at Cleveland Clinic Weston Hospital on Thursday, Dec. 5, 2024. In what will be a momentous occasion for South Florida, this will mark Broward County’s first clinic designed to exclusively serve the health needs of the LGBTQ+ community.
“Our patients, regardless of orientation or gender identity, are an integral part of our community, and we aim to eradicate long-standing health disparities while furthering the care, research and educational goals of Cleveland Clinic,” says Dr. F. Scott Ross, Vice President and Chief Medical Officer for Cleveland Clinic Weston Hospital. “With the creation of the LGBTQ+ Clinic, we will provide safe and high-quality care in a clinical setting where individuals are seen, valued and supported.”
Inclusive and compassionate care will be at the forefront of the clinic, with Patrick McLendon, DO, for Cleveland Clinic Weston Hospital serving as the Medical Director alongside a team of healthcare professionals who will provide primary care and specialty care.
The LGBTQ+ Clinic is on the ground level at Cleveland Clinic Weston Hospital, located at 3100 Weston Road, Weston, FL 33331. It will be open Thursdays from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m. and Fridays from 9 a.m. to 12 p.m.
