Juneteenth is a day to celebrate emancipation, freedom, Black history and culture. We know there is still so much work to be done in the fight to end racial injustice, but at Healthworks Group, we continue to push for equality for all. Please join as us as we celebrate and support our incredible Black community far and wide.
