Pride Month
June 9, 2021
by Christine Hernandez, LCSW, Director of Family and Support Services

Aging and death do not discriminate. Unfortunately, LGBT seniors may be afraid to access services, and may face the end of life without receiving the support they need and deserve. Moreover, grieving LGBT seniors may not feel comfortable seeking support when a partner dies.
June is Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender and Queer (LGBTQ) Pride Month. Silverado Hospice joins the California Hospice and Palliative Care Association in caring with compassion for the LGBTQ community during end of life care. We join in the nation’s celebration for individuals being their authentic self and belonging and being accepted for who they are.
Silverado’s Hospice philosophy is to maintain quality of life for all patients with respect, dignity, and understanding in their final days. Love > fear. For more information, please call (949) 240-7744.
