June is Pride month, and we reaffirm RWJBarnabas Health’s commitment to fostering an inclusive and welcoming environment for the LGBTQ+ community. It is a celebration of diversity, equality and the ongoing pursuit of justice and acceptance for all individuals, regardless of their sexual orientation or gender identity.
Together this #PrideMonth, let’s Reflect, Empower and Unite. It's our collective responsibility to continue to ensure that every individual who turns to us for care is treated in unwavering accordance with our values of compassion, empathy, kindness and respect – regardless of their gender identity, gender expression or sexual orientation.
At RWJBarnabas Health, we know that diversity is a strength that enriches our workplace and enhances our ability to provide equitable, culturally sensitive care. The work done each day across our system and at our PROUD Centers – Robert Wood Johnson University Hospital Somerset’s Babs Siperstein PROUD Center, Robert Wood Johnson University Hospital’s PROUD Gender Center and the PROUD Center at Community Medical Center – is a tangible example of our commitment to inclusivity without compromise. In addition to these vital services provided, RWJBarnabas Health facilities have been recognized and designated as “Leaders in LGBTQ+ Healthcare Equality” by the Human Rights Campaign (HRC) Foundation, the educational arm of America's largest civil rights organization working to achieve equality for LGBTQ+ people.
