Close to 80 Eastern Health staff and friends joined the Midsumma Pride Festival to show support for LGBTQIA+ people.
The Eastern Health contingent was delighted to be back at the Midsumma Festival Pride March after COVID-19 impacted the ability to participate last year.
As an inclusive healthcare service, we strive to support better health outcomes for LGBTQIA+ people and cultivate a safe and welcoming health service and workplace for all.
Eastern Health CEO David Plunkett attended the march and highlighted the importance of standing together.
“I was so pleased to join the Eastern Health contingent at this year’s Midsumma Festival Pride March, we are an extension of the community we serve.
“All health services have a part to play in fostering a safe and inclusive health sector for all staff and clients,” he said.
