Foodservice provider HHS has teamed up with Folx Health to offer enhanced employee benefits, particularly for LGBTQIA+ employees.  

Through the partnership, HHS management and corporate team members, their partners or spouses and adult dependents now have access to a range of non-clinical services, according to a press release. Some of these benefits include prescription medications for gender-affirming hormone replacement therapy, HIV prevention and sexual health, access to a dedicated care navigation team and a network of affirming providers, as well as a community hub for educational resources, peer groups, expert-led support groups and live events.

In addition, in the fourth quarter of 2023, Folx Health will expand its services to include comprehensive clinical offerings for HHS employees, including virtual appointments for primary care concerns, sexual wellness, fertility and family building, and parenting consultations designed for parents of LGBTQIA+ youth.

“We are excited about this new partnership with Folx Health and the enhanced support it will provide for our LGBTQIA+ employees and their families," said Lisa Molnar, chief people officer at HHS, in the release. "HHS is committed to ensuring our team has access to specialized care and support that addresses their unique needs, and this partnership further exemplifies that commitment.”
