Celebrating Juneteenth: A Day of Freedom and Reflection Today, we join millions across the nation to celebrate Juneteenth, a pivotal day in American history that marks the emancipation of enslaved African Americans.

Juneteenth is not only a time to remember the struggles and triumphs of those who fought for freedom but also an opportunity to reflect on our ongoing journey toward equality and justice for all. As we honor this day, we recognize the importance of diversity, equity, and inclusion in every aspect of our lives, including the healthcare community. At ARDMS, we are committed to fostering an environment that embraces diversity and promotes equal opportunities for all.
