Equitas Health is one of the largest LGBTQ+ and HIV/AIDS serving healthcare organizations in the United States. With offices in 13 cities, Equitas Health is a regional nonprofit community healthcare system that serves tens of thousands of patients in Ohio, Kentucky, Texas, and West Virginia each year through patient-centered, integrated, and cutting-edge services.
