Yesterday the Hope team celebrated our beloved office manager Gomez Josie as she takes off into retirement!

Josie’s dedication, hard work, and unwavering support for everyone that has come through the doors at the Hope office for the past eight years have made a lasting impact on our team, our organization, and the many people we serve. Through the years, she has been a steady presence, a trusted colleague, and a friend to so many.

Thank you, Josie, for your years of service, your commitment to excellence, and the countless ways you've helped make Hope an awesome office to come to everyday. Your contributions will not be forgotten.

We will miss you and wish you all the happiness, relaxation, and new adventures that retirement brings. Congratulations and enjoy this well-deserved next chapter!

Today we honor Juneteenth, also known as Freedom Day, marking June 19, 1865, when enslaved people in Texas learned they were free, more than two years after the Emancipation Proclamation.

As we reflect on the significance of this day, we celebrate the rich contributions of black communities and reaffirm our commitment to advancing health equity and caring for every individual and family with dignity, respect, and compassion.

Happy Juneteenth. ❤️🖤💚
