Newport Healthcare’s Post

On this Juneteenth, MSCE takes a moment to reflect on the significance of this historic day. Juneteenth commemorates the end of slavery in the United States, marking a crucial step forward in the long and ongoing struggle for equality and justice. As healthcare professionals, we recognize the deep-rooted health disparities that continue to impact communities of color. Our mission to provide equitable, high-quality care for all is closely tied to the broader fight for social justice and racial equality. Today, we reaffirm our commitment to addressing systemic inequities in healthcare access and outcomes. We will continue to educate ourselves and others about the social determinants of health, advocate for policies that promote health equity, and work to build a more diverse and inclusive healthcare workforce. On this Juneteenth, we honor the resilience and strength of the Black community, and we stand in solidarity with all those working to build a more just and equitable society. Together, we can create a future where every individual, regardless of race or background, has the opportunity to live a healthy, thriving life. #Juneteenth #HealthEquity #SocialJustice #MSCE

On this Juneteenth, Ōmcare takes a moment to reflect on the profound significance of this day in American history. The day when Union soldiers arrived in Galveston, Texas with news that the Civil War had ended and enslaved people were now free...two years after the Emancipation Proclamation. As we commemorate this moment in American history, we must also confront the harsh reality that the legacy of slavery and systemic racism persists in our society today. The fight for true equality, justice, and freedom remains an ongoing struggle. At Ōmcare, we firmly believe that diversity, equity, and inclusion are not just buzzwords – they are core values that we must actively embody and champion each and every day. We are committed to creating a workplace culture where every employee, regardless of their race, ethnicity, or background, feels valued, respected, and empowered to bring their whole selves to work. But we recognize that this commitment must extend beyond the confines of our organization. We have a responsibility to be advocates for change in our communities and in society at large. We invite all of our employees, partners, and customers to join us in reflecting on the significance of Juneteenth, engaging in honest and courageous conversations about race and justice, and taking meaningful steps to create a more equitable world.

✨ Family, Friends, Neighbor (FFN) Caregiver Appreciation Week! ✨ Today's theme: Supporting FFN Caregivers With Policy Efforts FFN caregivers are the backbone of child care for millions of working families. Yet, they often go without the resources, recognition, and support they need. It’s time for our leaders to step up and include FFN caregivers in local, state, and federal policies. BlackECE believes that policy changes are essential to ensure that Black caregivers and child care providers receive the compensation, protections, and support they deserve. Through our Lift Every Voice coalition, we’ve taken Black child care providers from all across California to the state Capitol to advocate directly with legislators for policies that will uplift Black families and caregivers. We’re amplifying our voices so that the next generation of Black children grows up in environments that are not only safe but culturally affirming. 🏛️💼 We need more leaders to recognize that Black child care providers, especially FFN caregivers, are critical to the well-being of our families. The time for change is now! 📢 What experiences have you had as a Black child care provider or Black parent that have prompted your thoughts on the change that needs to take place? Share your story using #FFNAppreciationWeek. #BlackECE #FFNCaregivers #LiftEveryVoice

Black History Month serves as a poignant backdrop for the Nation of Lifesavers campaign, aligning the principles of empowerment, community engagement, and health equity. As we celebrate the rich heritage and resilience of the Black community, the American Heart Association recognizes the importance of fostering heart health education and building a legacy of health. Why is learning CPR important for Black Americans? Black Americans have the highest incidence of cardiac arrest outside of the hospital and are significantly less likely to survive. Cardiac arrest in Black neighborhoods is associated with alarmingly low treatment and survival rates and studies have shown lower rates of both bystander CPR and bystander AED use in these neighborhoods. We need to change this trajectory. #BlackHistoryMonth2024 #AHALife #AmericanHeartAssociation #NationOfLifesavers #TheMoreYouKnow
