President Obama Announces New Health Protections
for LGBT Families
Directs Department of Health and Human
Services to Ensure Hospitals Respect Visitation, Decision-Making Rights
President Obama signed a presidential memorandum taking important steps
to protect the visitation and healthcare decision-making rights of
lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) people. This important
action was inspired by last year's New York Times profile of the tragic
experience of partners Lisa Pond and Janice Langbehn. Despite having an
advanced healthcare directive, Janice, and the couple's children, were
kept from Lisa's bedside as she lay dying. Lambda Legal represented
Janice in a lawsuit against Jackson Memorial Hospital in Miami and
worked with them to revise their policies in the wake of the tragedy. As
part of its ongoing efforts to promote executive actions which would
improve the lives of LGBT Americans, the Human Rights Campaign worked
with White House and Department of Health and Human Services staff in
support of today's memorandum.
