Celebrating Pride Month!
Dear Colleagues,
As we begin Pride Month, we take time to recognize and celebrate the LGBTQ+ community — including our colleagues, members, patients, caregivers, families, and neighbors. Pride is both a celebration of identity and progress, and a reminder of the importance of dignity, inclusion, and respect for all.
At VNS Health, we are proud of our longstanding commitment to ensuring that LGBTQ+ New Yorkers have access to culturally sensitive, compassionate care and support, including the life-changing services provided through our Gender Affirmation Program.
That commitment reflects who we are as an organization and the values that guide our mission every day.
Thank you for all you do to create a welcoming and respectful environment for one another and for the people we serve. Your empathy, professionalism, and dedication help make a meaningful difference in many of the lives we serve.
As the month gets underway and communities across New York prepare to celebrate throughout June, I want to wish everyone a joyful and meaningful Pride Month.
Dan Savitt
President and Chief Executive Officer
