Black History Month is often condensed to a handful of memorable moments and events. Courageous stories of slaves freed through the Underground Railroad are contrasted with historic moments like the famous “I Have a Dream” speech by Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.
At TriHealth, we value Representation, Identity and Diversity. This year, like many others, we want to acknowledge and uplift African Americans' contributions in healthcare and across industries nationally.
