Amidst the celebration of #PrideMonth, we are reminded of the extraordinary individuals who inspire us to be better allies for our LGBTQ+ employees, patients, friends and family - Individuals like Kurt. Kurt has worked in health care for nearly 50 years, currently serving as a Coordinator of Volunteers and Interns at Courage Kenny Rehabilitation Institute. Reflecting on what Pride Month means to him, he shares what it was like to participate in his first Twin Cities Pride Parade: "I remember the first time I jumped into the Twin Cities Pride Parade in 1992 and the layers of shame that were peeled away. I love the comradery that happens during the month of June." Thank you for sharing your story and for advocating for the LGBTQ+ community, Kurt!
