Princeton Health sponsored An Evening OUT II, a semi-formal gala held September 18 in Woodbridge, N.J. to raise funds for The Pride Center of New Jersey, a nonprofit organization providing programs, support groups, activities, and advocacy for the LGBTQ+ community.
Princeton Health’s Reina Fleury, vice president, human resources and CHRO, and Debbie Millar, RN, director of community wellness and engagement, were featured speakers at the event.
Princeton Health’s 2021 community health needs assessment identified opportunities to foster greater diversity, equity, and inclusion in community outreach and education efforts, Millar said. Princeton Health Community Wellness leaders have been meeting regularly with Pride Center representatives to discuss plans to provide programs at the group’s headquarters in Highland Park, N.J. The partnership begins this month, with Princeton Health instructors offering Mental Health First Aid courses at the Pride Center.
Providing a safe, inclusive care environment is a point of emphasis at Princeton Medical Center (PMC), Princeton House Behavioral Health, and across the Princeton Health system. PMC has been designated an LGBTQ Healthcare Equality Leader two years in a row by the Human Rights Campaign Foundation, a civil rights organization working to achieve equality for individuals who identify as lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, or queer. All of Penn Medicine’s hospitals have earned this distinction.
