“The UMHS Pride Network (the Transgender, Bisexual, Lesbian and Gay
Employee Resource and Patient Advocacy group) is proud of its partnership with the Health System in achieving these ratings in the Healthcare Equality Index,” said Kimber Converso, a cardiac sonographer and researcher at the University of Michigan Congenital Heart Center and chair of the Pride Network.
“We look forward to continued improvements in both the provision of quality medical care to the transgender, bisexual, lesbian and gay communities, and creating an inclusive and supportive work environment,” Converso said on behalf of the Pride Network Executive Committee.
