Our Story
SYH Proud
SYH Proud is committed to creating a safer space that supports and improves the health and well-being of SYHealth’s Queer*, Trans, and Ally employees by acting as a source of education, increasing visibility, and strengthening community engagement.
When we meet: The second Tuesday of the month from 12 PM to 1 PM
Who can join: Members of the LGBTQ+ community and allies are welcome. You must be a staff member of SYHealth to participate.
Contact us: If you’re interested in joining SYH Proud, would like to coordinate a training opportunity on the LGBTQ+ community for your department, or have any questions please email SYHProud@syhealth.org.
*Queer acts as an umbrella term for people who identify with a range of sexual orientations that are not “straight.” (For example - gay, bisexual, lesbian, pansexual, etc.) We acknowledge that some members of the community may identify more strongly with a specific sexual orientation under this umbrella term than the umbrella term itself, especially because of the history the word has as a slur.
What We Do
SYH Proud has many long-term goals that aim to make San Ysidro Health a more affirming environment for LGBTQ+ patients and staff members. We also host lunch and learns, participate in San Diego Pride month activities, and get to know each other through SYH Proud social events.
