SAN DIEGO — UC San Diego Health is having their 2nd annual Pride Lighting Ceremony Wednesday, June 29 from 7:30-9 p.m. at their Hillcrest Medical Center (200 W. Arbor Drive, San Diego, 92101).
This free community event will feature the Gay Men’s Chorus, as well as Congressman Scott Peters, Councilman Todd Gloria and Councilman-Elect Chris Ward. UC San Diego Health have also provided free information booths to The San Diego LGBT Community Center and San Diego Pride. There will be free parking, fun giveaways, as well as festive desserts and refreshments.
“Last year, we were the first hospital in the nation to illuminate itself in rainbow colors to show our support and dedication for our LGBT patients, staff, visitors and neighbors,” Zachary Schlagel, assistant director UC San Diego Health told LGBT Weekly by email. “With all that has transpired this week, I cannot think of a better way to stand up to fear and terror than to light a building, especially a long-time community landmark like this one, in rainbow colors for all to see.”
