About Us
QWELL Community Foundation’s Queer Health Equity Program works to maximize access to LGBTQIA+ inclusive mental and physical healthcare in Greater Austin.
QWELL invites every employee of a healthcare company, large and small, to join our partners, Central Health, Integral Care, and CommUnityCare in working to make Austin’s entire health system LGBTQIA+ inclusive.
Greater Austin has the nation's 3rd largest openly LGBTQIA+ population.
The size of Greater Austin's openly LGBTQIA+ population is equivalent to the entire population of Waco.
LGBTQIA+ patients have difficulty finding inclusive healthcare providers.
The Austin/Travis County Community Health Improvement Plan, QWELL and Dell Medical School's annual research study, and the City of Austin's LGBTQIA+ Quality of Life Study all agree that Greater Austin does not have enough LGBTQIA+ inclusive providers to serve this large population.
Negative healthcare experiences hurt population health.
55% of local LGBTQIA+ Austinites have had a negative healthcare experience related to their LGBTQIA+ identity. 1 in 3 do not seek medical attention when they need it for fear of more negative experiences.
Why Join Us
