"Happy New Year! My name is Karen and I just wanted to reach out and let you know I really appreciate your references on your Stony Brook Medicine "LGBTQ" website. I've been educating my daughter, Marleigh, on 'sexual health' (it's about that time!) and it's made referencing much easier. So, thank you!"
