Pride is back. After two years of virtual events, the annual New York City Pride March to celebrate the LGBTQ+ community returns in person and you're invited. Join Montefiore at any of the Pride events this June, starting June 5 in Queens and culminating with the Pride March through the streets of Manhattan on June 26.
Montefiore Einstein was the first health system with a parade float in March 2016 and has been designated a leader in LGTBQ+ Equity Healthcare eight years in a row by the Human Rights Campaign Health Equity Index (HEI). Montefiore Einstein earned a perfect 100 score on the HEI which serves as the gold standard in benchmarking healthcare institutions on policies and practices related to treatment and inclusion of LGBTQ+ patient, visitors and employees.
