This Pride Month, as we celebrate the strength and resilience of the LGBTQ community, we’re also facing a sobering reality: across the country, LGBTQ rights, identities, and basic dignity are under attack. In this moment, organizations such as Mazzoni Center are more essential than ever. For decades, Mazzoni Center has provided affirming, life-saving care and advocacy for LGBTQ people in Philadelphia — combining compassionate, high-quality, integrated whole-person healthcare with a deep commitment to equity and access.

I’m proud to support Mazzoni Center not only because of its mission, but because of my personal and professional connection to the organization. I’ve seen up close the expertise, compassion, and community leadership that define Mazzoni Center's work — and the real impact it has on people’s lives. This Pride Month, I hope you’ll stand with me in supporting an organization that truly shows up for our community, every single day.
