This Pride Month, we are featuring Walter Tayburn, a HearingLife Patient Care Coordinator at our Phillipsburg, NJ location, who is a member of the LGBTQIA+ Community. For Walter, Pride Month is a time of reflection, “I came out during a time when it was not generally accepted. I was concerned about discrimination in housing, job opportunities and my general safety. I think it's important to remember where we have been as a community and where we hope to go in the future.” At HearingLife, Walter feels celebrated for being his authentic self, not just tolerated. “It's important to remember to embrace and love oneself. It's not ego or flaunting; it's a community celebrating freedom.” Thank you to Walter and all our Team Members for bringing your best to HearingLife every day. #Pride #TeamMembers

We are celebrating Pride Month with stories from our Team! Today, meet Dr. Michelle Singer currently works in our New York City Madison Avenue office. Dr. Singer is a member of our employee resource group for LGBTQIA+ Team Members and allies. Her work with the group has helped her arrange hearing screenings and educational events at queer senior centers around NYC. “Generally, the LGBTQIA+ senior community is frequently overlooked and underserved – especially when it comes to specialized healthcare like hearing.” To Dr. Singer, Pride Month is about showcasing those who are part of the LGBTQIA+ community and their never-ending contributions to our society, “it’s especially important to bring attention to the inequalities and discrimination against our community within the healthcare system.” “At HearingLife, I have not only felt accepted for who I am as a member of the LGBTQIA+ community, but welcomed for it. Having the opportunity to speak about and contribute my ideas on these matters has allowed me to truly be my authentic self at work every day.” Michelle, the pleasure is truly ours – thank you for bringing your best to HearingLife every day.
