2019 Pride Block Party

WVU Medicine joined several corporate and community sponsors this past weekend at Morgantown’s inaugural LGBTQ Pride block party in South Park to celebrate and support the lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer community. Hosted by Morgantown PRIDE, a local organization whose mission is to sponsor and participate in events and programs that enrich the Morgantown community and affirm the value of its LGBTQ people, the event brought members of the LGBTQ community together, along with their friends, family, and supporters, for a day filled with live music, food, performances, and streets lined with local vendors. Adults and children alike joined together to increase visibility, build community, and celebrate the freedom to be themselves and be accepted for who they are. Many thanks for Dr. Cyrus Hajiran of the Department of Family Medicine for representing WVU Medicine!
