Equitas Health Celebrates Juneteenth

Equitas Health will be closed on Monday, June 19, in honor of Juneteenth. We look forward to celebrating this national holiday, commemorating the day in 1866 when the U.S. government freed the last Americans from slavery. This Juneteenth, we invite you to join the celebration, attend an event near you, and continue to work for justice in your communities.
