John B. Montana Society

John B. Montana, MD, was one of the first physicians in New York City to identify and treat people living with HIV/AIDS at the outset of the epidemic in 1981. Dr. Montana saw many of the earliest cases at his Greenwich Village practice, and became a proponent of harm reduction and safer sex, advising GMHC, ACT-UP, and many other AIDS-related organizations. He generously gave his time and money to many community organizations, including Callen-Lorde, and provided care to many uninsured patients in need.

It was in this spirit of generosity that Dr. Montana left nearly $400,000 in his estate to Callen-Lorde to help us provide care to the most vulnerable members of our communities, regardless of ability to pay. To recognize his leadership and commitment to ensuring LGBTQ people had a place to seek care, we’ve dedicated our planned giving society in his name.

To learn more about how you can follow in Dr. Montana’s footsteps by including Callen-Lorde in your estate plans – or if you have already made arrangements to support us in you estate plans – please contact us at (646) 965-5467 or development@callen-lorde.org.
