🌱 Southampton Daily: 'LGBTQ+ Healthcare Equality Leaders'

Morning, neighbors! Diane Witek here with your brand-new copy of the Southampton Daily.

First, today's weather:

Sunny, breezy and not as cold. High: 40, low: 29.

Here are the top stories in Southampton today:

1. Who's hiring in the Southampton area? There are many high paying jobs listed, even if you are looking for part-time work, it's all there in Patch. (Southampton Patch)
2. Consider a lovable new four-legged friend at Last Chance Animal Rescue, where Oscar the dog is waiting patiently. Or, meet ADDIE, a Pomeranian mix up for adoption. If cats are more your thing, there are several great cats available, too. (Southampton Patch)
3. The Human Rights Campaign Foundation named Stony Brook University Hospital “LGBTQ+ Healthcare Equality Leaders” for 2022. Stony Brook University Hospital has received a prestigious designation — named a national leader in LGBTQ+ healthcare equality.
   All Stony Brook Medicine hospitals were included in the honor, including Stony Brook Children's Hospital, Stony Brook Southampton Hospital, and Stony Brook Eastern Long Island Hospital; all were named "LGBTQ+ Healthcare Equality Leaders" for 2022 in the Human Rights Campaign Foundation's 15th anniversary edition of the Healthcare Equality Index.

1. The exhibit, "Two Centuries of Long Island Women Artists, 1800-2000," at the Long Island Museum in Stony Brook, is dedicated to the memory of "arts patroness and community activist Cindy M. Smith, a Stony Brook resident and long-time supporter of local artists." “She felt women artists faced greater obstacles to success than men and had to work harder to achieve recognition. She would have been first on line to see the exhibition if she were still alive,” said Warren Strugatch, her husband. (TBR News Media)
