For the second year in a row, St. Elizabeth Healthcare is teaming up with the Northern Kentucky Community Action Commission (NKCAC) to host a celebration of Juneteenth — a federal holiday in the United States commemorating the emancipation of African-Americans who were enslaved. This event is just one example of the commitment made by St. Elizabeth to better connect with communities where health inequities exist by establishing partnerships and education initiatives.
“We are proud to partner with the Northern Kentucky Community Action Commission once again to commemorate Juneteenth,” said Garren Colvin, President and Chief Executive Officer of St. Elizabeth. “Diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) is part of everything we do here at St. Elizabeth, from how we serve our patients to nurturing our workforce. This event is just another example of our commitment to lead the communities we serve to become the healthiest in America.”
In collaboration with NKCAC, St. Elizabeth will commemorate the 157th Juneteenth Independence Day with a full day of activities and educational programs. The Juneteenth Celebration is free and open to the public.
