A letter from Raffaele M. Bernardo, DO, FACP, AAHIVS, Medical Director, Center for LGBTQ+ Care
As Medical Director of Valley's Center for LGBTQ+ Care, I want to affirm Valley’s unwavering commitment to providing comprehensive, safe, and compassionate healthcare to the LGBTQ+ community. Our mission has been and will continue to be clear and unchanged. We believe that everyone deserves access to quality healthcare without judgment or discrimination, and we are dedicated to creating a space where all individuals feel respected and supported.
We understand that the current environment may be causing anxiety and uncertainty within the LGBTQ+ community, especially regarding access to healthcare and the protection of individual rights. It is important to remember that healthcare is a fundamental human right, and we are committed to ensuring that all individuals, regardless of sexual orientation or gender identity, have access to the care they need and deserve.
We remain committed to providing exceptional healthcare and support to the LGBTQ+ community. We will continue to advocate for policies that protect and advance the health and well-being of everyone and strive to be a trusted resource. We encourage anyone seeking healthcare services to reach out.
