Upcoming EventsThe Jacobs Family Pride Wellness Center of Montefiore Nyack Hospital was dedicated on Saturday, April 2, 2022. A partnership with the Oval Center and Aids Center at Montefiore and the Phyllis B. Frank Pride Center of Rockland County, it is the first LGBTQ+ medical health center of its kind in the Hudson Valley.
In attendance was US Congressman Mondaire Jones, who presented a check in the amount of $1.5 million in support of the Center to expand its capacity and reach. The Center offers affirming and confidential community-based care for the LGBTQ+ community. A full complement of medical and screening services are provided in addition to support, education, and healthcare navigation services.
“Every person deserves to have access to respectful and humanistic care in a place where they are truly seen and heard, where they feel safe and accepted to receive whole-person care and treatment," said Mark E. Geller, MD, President and CEO Montefiore Nyack. “Our mission is to ensure all LGBTQ+ patients seeking our services are protected and affirmed by our healthcare providers. The Jacobs Family Pride Wellness Center, at its core, strives to do that by treating the “whole person” and listening to our patients should they feel there are any voids in their care.”
