Pride at NOAH embodies a commitment to inclusive and affirming healthcare for all members of the LGBTQ+ community. By opening our doors to everyone, regardless of sexual orientation or gender identity, NOAH creates a safe and welcoming environment where LGBTQ+ individuals can access comprehensive healthcare services without fear of discrimination or judgment.
For me, I think nurturing a work and living space where LGBTQ+ Pride is recognized and celebrated is important to not only reinforce acceptance but to let my many LGBTQ+ loved ones that I am there for them. It wasn’t that long ago that being part of the LGBTQ+ community would get you arrested or put into a mental institution and today many people are still ostracized and discriminated against due to being part of the LGBTQ+ community.
