Members of Michigan Medicine’s LGBTQ+ Advisory Committee discuss resources for the LGBTQ+ community. June is Pride Month, a time to honor the impact of lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and queer/questioning (LGBTQ+) people throughout the United States and beyond. The Stonewall riots, which occurred at the end of June of 1969, are often characterized as an integral series of events that gave way to the gay liberation movement. They also had a hand in why June was chosen for this celebratory month. “The LGBTQ+ community continues to face various health care disparities and hardships due to discrimination and other unfair practices,” says Pedro Coracides, a project manager in Michigan Medicine’s Office of Patient Experience. “That’s why it’s so important for us to focus on patient and family-centered care for all of our guests, as we constantly strive to make our health system an inclusive space for everyone.”
