Support the Center with a Gala Journal Ad
The Hudson Valley LGBTQ Center’s annual Gala has become, like the Center itself, an important and integral part of our region. The 2010 Gala, which will take place on Saturday, March 13, at the Grandview in Poughkeepsie, will celebrate the remarkable progress the Center has made in the five years since a determined group first met to outline the dream of a community center for the LGBTQ citizens of the Mid-Hudson Valley. We hope you will join us in that celebration by expressing your congratulations in the Gala’s program journal. Click here for details and rates.
Health Care Provider's Directory Now Online
We often get requests for recommendations about health care providers. We have been working over the last two years to gather information about LGBTQ affirming health care providers. Our members recommended the providers in our directory. We then sent each of them a questionnaire about their practice. We have listed only those providers who returned the questionnaire and indicated that they wished to be listed. We hope you will find this to be a valuable resource. Click here to access the list.
