University Hospital in Newark has announced it will host a Pride ball and fair on July 10.
The “Our House of Pride Ball and Fair” is organized by the hospital’s Pride Employee Resource Group and is set to take place from noon until 3 p.m. inside the cafeteria, Level B, at the hospital, 150 Bergen St.
“This free public event brings together healthcare professionals, patients, families, educators, students, artists, advocacy organizations, nonprofit agencies, businesses, and community members for an afternoon celebrating diversity, belonging, wellness, and community connection,” the group said in an email announcing the event.
There will be a community resource fair, live entertainment, competitions, health and wellness resources, networking opportunities and refreshments, according to the email.
“More than a celebration, ‘Our House of Pride’ reflects University Hospital’s commitment to creating welcoming spaces where every individual feels seen, valued, and connected to resources that improve health and well-being,” the group said.
