Our Purpose

A program of Sherbourne Health, Rainbow Health Ontario creates opportunities for the healthcare system to better serve 2SLGBTQ communities.

RHO offers training for healthcare providers across the province to feel more clinically and culturally competent in caring for their 2SLGBTQ service users. RHO also supports system change by producing evidence-based print and web resources, contributing an 2SLGBTQ health perspective to public policy processes, acting as a research catalyst and hosting Canada’s largest 2SLGBTQ health conference.

RHO is primarily funded by Ontario Health. RHO also receives community and donor support. Consider donating today.

Sherbourne Health

Sherbourne Health is a dynamic provider of integrated health services, community programs and capacity-building initiatives that enable people and diverse communities to achieve wellness.

Sherbourne is an urban health agency in downtown Toronto that provides holistic primary care and chronic disease management, mental health services, health promotion and education, and outreach and social supports.

Sherbourne’s doors are open to everyone, with a focus on the 2SLGBTQ community, the homeless and under-housed people, and newcomers to Canada whose complex needs are often not met by traditional health care. Sherbourne combines high quality clinical care with responsive, culturally-appropriate community development programs that provide access to people in the surrounding communities who need it most.
