Ferndale Pride Cuts Ties with Corewell Health Over Care Reductions
February 11, 2025 - 23:41
"Since something was happening to harm our community we had to take action," said Julia Music, the executive director of Ferndale Pride. The organization has announced its decision to sever ties with Corewell Health, citing recent cuts to gender-affirming care as the primary reason for their action. This decision reflects a growing concern among LGBTQ+ advocacy groups regarding access to essential healthcare services.
The move underscores the increasing tension between healthcare providers and LGBTQ+ communities, particularly in light of recent policy changes that impact gender-affirming treatments. Ferndale Pride, known for its commitment to inclusivity and support for marginalized groups, felt it was imperative to take a stand against what they perceive as detrimental changes to healthcare access.
Music emphasized the importance of advocacy and solidarity within the community, stating that organizations must prioritize the well-being of their constituents. This decision is part of a broader dialogue about the rights of transgender individuals and the necessity for equitable healthcare access for all.
