PPH residents visit the Mazzoni Center

Recently, five PPH independent living residents visited the Mazzoni Center for a day of volunteer service. They worked with the staff and volunteers from SAP, a business software company, who were also performing a day of community service.

The Mazzoni Center provides quality comprehensive health and wellness services in an LGBTQ-focused environment, while preserving the dignity and improving the quality of life of the individuals they serve.

Is there a staff member or a special PPH caregiver that has made a difference in your life or the life of your significant other? The PPH Guardian Angel program is a special program in which residents recognize a member of the PPH staff who made a difference in their lives. Naming a Guardian Angel is a meaningful and symbolic way of expressing your gratitude for their hard work and dedication to make life easier. Each Angel will be given public recognition in our communications, including in our Annual report. Additionally, their name will be displayed on bulletin boards around PPH, as well as on our website and social media channels.
