Happy Juneteenth

By Nathan Moore • June 19, 2025
At MedNOW Clinics, we believe in honoring the history, cultures, and communities that shape the world around us. As we approach June 19th, we join millions across the country in recognizing Juneteenth, a powerful day of reflection, education, and celebration. Juneteenth, also known as Freedom Day , marks the date in 1865 when the last enslaved African Americans in Galveston, Texas, were informed of their freedom—over two years after the Emancipation Proclamation was signed. It is a day that honors the strength, resilience, and contributions of Black Americans throughout our nation’s history. This day serves as a reminder of the work that has been done—and the continued progress needed—to ensure equality and justice for all. At MedNOW, we are committed to fostering an inclusive, respectful environment for both our patients and staff, rooted in compassion, dignity, and equity. We encourage you to take time on this important day to reflect, learn, and connect with your community. Whether through attending a local celebration, supporting Black-owned businesses, or simply starting a conversation, we hope Juneteenth inspires meaningful engagement and growth. Thank you for being part of our MedNOW family. We’re proud to serve a diverse and vibrant community—and we stand with you in the pursuit of health, equality, and understanding for all. Warm regards,
