As we continue to take time to remember past Dignity & Respect champions, let us honor Lindsay Losasso, last March’s winner for empowering and tirelessly advocating for Pittsburgh’s diverse population such as refugees, immigrants, and internationals.
Lindsay Losasso believes that a crucial part of the human experience is to be treated with dignity and respect. As the program & grants manager at the Squirrel Hill Health Center (SHHC), a comprehensive primary healthcare center that provides the highest quality medical care and social services, she works to put projects and programs into place that will improve the office, services for patients.
Along with her multi-lingual staff, she works closely with patients to ensure there are no barriers between income or insurance status and healthcare, showing special concern for patients’ religious beliefs, race, national origin, primary language, and disability status.
Over the last several years, Lindsay has successfully led Translation and Interpretation Sub-Committee of the Department of Human Services Advisory Council for Immigrants and Internationals. Under her leadership, the Sub-Committee, comprised of local service providers serving immigrants and internationals, formulated plans to create Pittsburgh Language Bank.
