As Pride Month begins, we at Mildmay join communities around the globe in celebrating the LGBTQIA++ community. For us, Pride is more than just a celebration; it's a profound reflection of our core values: dignity, respect, and a tradition of inclusive care for every individual.
Mildmay's history is deeply intertwined with the journey of the LGBTQ+ community, particularly through our pioneering work in HIV and AIDS care. From the very beginning of the epidemic, Mildmay stood as a symbol of hope, offering specialist care, comfort, and acceptance when fear and stigma often prevailed. We understood that effective care meant addressing not just physical ailments, but also the profound social and emotional challenges faced by those living with HIV, many of whom were from LGBTQ+ backgrounds. Our unwavering commitment to fighting stigma remains at the heart of everything we do.
This enduring dedication to providing compassionate, stigma-free care for all, regardless of sexual orientation or gender identity, is a legacy we are immensely proud of. It's a testament to our impact that our work has even been recognised with the naming of the Mildmay line on the London Underground map, marking our historical significance in the fight against HIV.
Today, as an NHS partner, we continue to embody the principle that healthcare is for everyone, without exception. Our dedicated teams champion inclusivity, ensuring that all our patients, staff, and partners feel valued, respected, and supported to live their best, authentic lives.
This Pride Month, let's reaffirm our commitment to a more equitable and compassionate world. We encourage everyone to learn, support, and advocate for continued progress. Together, we can ensure that every individual receives the care and respect they deserve, free from prejudice and stigma.
Happy Pride Month from all of us at Mildmay.
