Thompson Named ‘LGBTQ+ Healthcare Equality High Performer’
UR Medicine Thompson Health recently announced its “LGBTQ+ Healthcare Equality High Performer” designation from the Human Rights Campaign Foundation (HRC).
The designation was awarded in the 16th iteration of HRC’s
, released earlier this month. A record 1,065 healthcare facilities actively participated in the HEI 2024 survey and scoring process. Of those participants, 462 received the “
LGBTQ+ Healthcare Equality High Performer”
designation.
“For many years, Thompson has made a concerted effort to be a place where all patients, residents, visitors and associates feel welcome,” said Thompson Health Vice President of Associate
Services/Wellness Jennifer DeVault. “As we continue to find ways to make our health system even more welcoming, we appreciate the guidance of the HRC, and we are proud to have received this distinction.”
DeVault said Thompson offers “Safe Space” training to its associates, has a contingent in Rocheter’s Pride Parade and is a sponsor of the FLX Pride Festival. Other initiatives have included dedicating a page on the health system’s website to the needs of the LGBTQ+ community, listing several available resources.

Featured Wine: 2022 Marechal Foch
Any time of year is a perfect time to enjoy the 2022 Marechal Foch (Foch for short)! This versatile dry red wine is fruit forward and naturally lower in tannins than many red wines resulting in a smooth, clean finish. In addition to pairing well with dishes that are traditionally paired with red wines (hearty beef dishes, red sauces, cheese, chocolate), due to its fruit-forward nature and unique, light finish, Marechal Foch also pairs well with a variety of dishes that are not traditionally served with red wines. Try serving Marechal Foch with grilled salmon, barbecued chicken, sautéed mushrooms or mixed greens.
To read more about Marechal Foch including our award-winning 2022 Marechal Foch go to https://prejeanwinery.com/blog/featured-wine-marechal-foch.
Wines available in the tasting room or our online wineshop.
First Date Ideas
First dates are always a little dicey. After meeting for coffee, which some consider a “pre-date,” you need to decide on what to do that won’t make the situation more awkward that necessary. Part of your choices depend on what you found out in the initial meet or through online conversations. Of course, it is best to choose something that you both have in common. Read More.
Color Green
The next choice on the rainbow wheel is Green, which is a combination of blue and yellow. With yellow a symbol of optimism and blue’s calming effect, green presents as a positive influence on our daily lives. Read more.
Drinks Named for People
We are all familiar with an Arnold Palmer or a Shirley Temple, but were you aware of these? Here are some alcoholic beverages that were named for real folks. Read More.
