Celebrating Juneteenth and Honoring Diversity

Diversity is one of our core values at CenterLight. Each day, we work to create an environment that celebrates the many cultures and traditions of our participants and staff members.

On June 19th each year, Juneteenth is celebrated in the United States commemorating the end of slavery on this date in 1865 under the terms of the 1862 Emancipation Proclamation. Today, Juneteenth is recognized as a federal holiday—honoring not only this important event in our country’s history that represents freedom, quality and justice, but the many contributions of our African American community.

We at CenterLight are proud to join in this celebration.

CenterLight’s Program of All-Inclusive Care for the Elderly (PACE) provides care to thousands of New Yorkers from diverse backgrounds. We believe in providing care as unique as each of our participants, and in honoring their cultural heritage. Equally important is the diversity of our compassionate and caring staff, whose varying perspectives come from all over the country, and all over the world.

Every day I am pleased to witness that these perspectives—as well as an inherent respect for each other—are woven into the fabric of who we are as an organization, and in how we serve those who depend on us for their care.
