Carle Pride
Our mission is to create a support network for LGBTQ+ identifying and allied medical students. Additionally, we hope to provide education and perspectives on the healthcare-related issues related to LGBTQ+ community so that Carle Illinois College of Medicine students and staff are prepared to provide LGBTQ+ inclusive care to their patients.
Carle Pride at CU Pride Fest 2024
Carle Illinois College of Medicine students joined several community organizations on Saturday, September 21 for the 2024 Champaign-Urbana Pride Fest in Downtown Urbana, Illinois. CI MED students, led by the Carle Pride student group, provided educational materials and information affirming LGBTQ+ health care in the community as well as opportunities for attendees to have their vitals checked.
The CU Pride Fest was hosted by the Uniting Pride (UP) Center of Champaign County, which advocates for the equality, wellness, advocacy, and visibility of the LGBTQ+ communities in Champaign County.
