On June 19, 1865, over two years after the Emancipation Proclamation, enslaved people in Galveston, Texas finally received word of their freedom.
This day, now known as Juneteenth, marks the true end of slavery in the U.S. and stands as a powerful reminder of resilience, resistance, and the ongoing fight for equity.
At Velez Family Health, we honor this history and reaffirm our commitment to providing inclusive, compassionate care that uplifts every member of our community. 💙
