On April 22 we had a pipe elbow failure in our Emergency Department (ED) causing a significant water leak. Crews are working hard to repair damage as quickly as possible. Our ED is open, but several rooms are currently offline, which can increase wait times. Apologies for any inconvenience you may experience.
LGBTQ+ Resources for Providers to Share With Patients
Mickey Kander, PA-C, MSW, MPH, Fairwood Primary Care, gave a presentation on March 24, during LGBTQ Health Awareness Week to help VMC caregivers answer questions about available community resources for LGBTQ+ patients at Valley Medical Center. If you’ve ever sent an email to a colleague seeking help for an LGBTQ patient – this talk is for you. Topics include:
• Social interaction (groups – including intersectional populations)
• Condition specific support (gender affirming care, mental health, substance use, aging)
• Support for families of LGBTQ community members
Here are his slides and here is a resource list.
