Introducing Our LGBTQ Health Summer Interns!
Pride month got off to a great start this year as we welcomed our 2021 summer interns, Jacob Zimmerman and Julia Grey! Jacob and Julia both applied for our 2020 internship program, but due to the COVID-19 pandemic, they were unable to join us last year. Later in the month, Melvin Lewis was added to our crew.
