Pride Month is all about celebrating the LGBTQ+ community and advocating for their rights—and the medical field is no exception to this. Health care should be inclusive and respectful for everyone, no matter their gender identity or who they love. The challenges include gaps in coverage, affordability, stigma, discrimination and poor treatment from healthcare professionals.
Katie Tierney is the Medical Director of the Middlesex Health Center for Gender Medicine and Wellness and is an APRN specializing in Endocrinology. She believes that patients need to be treated with dignity and respect. With LGBTQ+ that starts with using the correct pronouns and validating them in the health care space.
Tony Ferraiolo is a transgender advocate and is the Director of Youth and Family Programs at Health Care Advocates International, which provides a safe place for LGBTQ+ youth and their families to be supported. Tony talks candidly about his own healthcare stories as a transgender man, the good and the bad. Tony dedicates himself to educating providers and the business community about inclusion.
