Pride Month Raffle Winners

This year for Pride Month, the Office of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) highlighted the importance of inclusivity in medical settings. In their highlight, they recognized the primary care practice, Starland Family Practice, for their mission to create a welcoming environment for those in the LGBTQ+ community.  

To close out Pride Month, DEI hosted a raffle drawing and selected winners from each campus. Thank you to all who entered, and congratulations to our winners!
