"Pride Month is a celebration, but it is also a reminder that LGBTQ+ patients, nurses and other health care professionals are part of every emergency care team and every community we serve.

This year, Pride Month feels especially important. Many in the LGBTQ+ community, particularly transgender and gender-diverse individuals, continue to navigate a climate where access to affirming care, safety and expectations of privacy are under intense pressure. People often come to the emergency department when they are scared, vulnerable, hurt or alone, but studies have found a significant number of LGBTQ+ patients avoid or delay necessary care over concerns that they will not be accepted.

That is why it is as important as ever that the emergency department is an environment where patients and professionals alike feel seen and supported. As emergency nurses, our responsibility is to meet every person with clinical excellence, compassion, dignity and humanity while providing evidence-informed care. ENA remains steadfast in its commitment to train and educate emergency nurses on providing such care.

To each LGBTQ+ emergency nurse and ENA member: You belong here. Your voice and leadership matter. Your presence makes emergency nursing stronger."

As Asian American, Native Hawaiian and Pacific Islander Heritage Month concludes, ENA urges all to keep learning and celebrating the history and impact of the many cultures that compose Asian Americans, Native Hawaiians and Pacific Islanders. The following resources highlight a few incredible contributions from AANHPI nurses and communities:

- Read “Filipino Nurses: A Legacy Honored,” an interview with the filmmakers behind the award-winning documentary, “Nurse Unseen.” The feature-length documentary highlights the often unsung history of Filipino nurses in the U.S. https://t.co/QRMeY6MeOO

- Learn about Turner Hospital, which was founded in 1915 when Mary Yone Akita, Los Angeles’ first Japanese nurse, turned her home into a maternity clinic for first-generation Japanese women. https://t.co/jazra8naa4

"ENA extends its sympathies to the families and coworkers of Sarah Clark, Jamie Novick, Keelan Clark and Ali Kawsara, who died Thursday when their Trans Aero MedEvac plane crashed in New Mexico.

Medical flight crews answer the call in some of the most difficult conditions and terrain, often becoming the first hands, voices and hearts on scene when lives are at risk. ENA honors their service and courage, and it grieves alongside their team and the emergency care community."
