Gov. Jack Markell recognizes LGBTQ Health Equality Week

April 14, 2015

Representatives of Beebe Healthcare and CAMP Rehoboth were presented with a Governor’s Office proclamation recognizing March 23 to 27 as LGBTQ Health Equality Week. Gov. Jack Markell said the proclamation recognizes the need for health awareness in the Lesbian-Gay-Bisexual-Transgender-Questioning communities.

“LGBTQ Health Equality Week is a time for all Americans to celebrate the progress and sacrifice of those who have walked before us, took a stance against prejudice to build lives of dignity and opportunity, advanced the cause of civil rights and strengthened families and communities,” reads the proclamation.

Markell said Health Equality Week should promote healthy living with equal medical care for all, and celebrate the diversity which makes up this great state.
