On Monday, June 19, our nation celebrates Juneteenth, the oldest national commemoration of the ending of slavery in the United States. Nearly 160 years later, this landmark act further reinforces the national significance of Juneteenth and its continued importance in shaping our country’s social fabric and ongoing work to ensure that the 150+ year struggle to ensure the promise of equality, civil rights, liberty, and social and racial justice for all is not in vain.
TriHealth is commemorating Juneteenth in a number of important ways. We will once again serve as a proud sponsor of Cincinnati’s 36th Annual Juneteenth Festival hosted by Juneteenth Cincinnati and The Urban League. Additionally, TriHealth and our TriHealth Resource Initiative for Black Employees (TRIBE) Employee Resource Group (ERG) will be volunteering at the Juneteenth Festival in Eden Park on Saturday, June 17. At this event, TriHealth will once again engage with our community by providing health screenings, talent acquisition information on employment opportunities, and vital health education materials to help ensure our Greater Cincinnati community is “seen and heard” by TriHealth for the health and wellness services they need. Team members interested in volunteering at this event can click here to sign up. And, on Monday, June 19, our TRIBE ERG will host their monthly meeting in celebration of Juneteenth, and team members are invited to join (click here to register).
