June 19 is Juneteenth, a federal holiday that commemorates the emancipation of the last enslaved Black people in the United States.
As we observe Juneteenth, UMass Memorial Health recognizes and celebrates the contributions of our Black community leaders, patients, physicians, team members and neighbors.
Today, we invite you to take time to listen, learn and engage with the voices and stories of inspiring leaders in your community.
