LGBTQ and Allies

LGBT & Allies Employee Resource Group

Established by Brigham and Women's Hospital in 2008, the Brigham LGBTQ and Friends Employee Resource Group (ERG) seeks to create a welcoming and affirming environment not only for Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender employees, but also for patients, families and friends. All Brigham and Women's Faulkner Hospital and Brigham and Women's Hospital employees (and their families and friends) are welcome to join us and participate in our activities and events.
