Dear LinkedIn Community, As we commemorate Juneteenth, we recognize the profound significance of this historic day and its alignment with our mission and values at Synergia Healthcare Group. Juneteenth, observed on June 19th, commemorates the moment in 1865 when enslaved African Americans in Galveston, Texas, learned of their freedom, two and a half years after the Emancipation Proclamation. It stands as a testament to the resilience and fortitude of African Americans throughout history. Why Juneteenth Matters for Health Equity: Health equity is not merely a moral imperative; it is a fundamental human right. Historically, people of color have faced substantial disparities in healthcare, resulting in poorer health outcomes, higher mortality rates, and diminished quality of life. At Synergia Healthcare Group, we are committed to addressing these inequities and ensuring equitable access to high-quality healthcare services, regardless of race or ethnicity. Inspiring Action: Juneteenth serves as a call to action. Let us engage in transformative conversations, challenge inaccurate narratives, and actively work toward a more just and inclusive healthcare system. Together, we can create a future where every individual receives compassionate and respectful care. Thank you for joining us on our journey toward health equity. Let us celebrate the richness of our collective heritage and honor the invaluable contributions of African Americans to our society. Wishing you a meaningful Juneteenth! Warm regards, The Synergia Healthcare Group Team #synergiahealthcaremanagement #Juneteenth2024 #EqualityMatters #SocialJustice #CelebrateFreedom

During NAIDOC Week, we acknowledge the history, culture and achievements of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders. We can all seek ways to keep the fire burning, and the South Australian public sector’s Anti-Racism Strategy is an important piece of work that seeks to break down systemic barriers. 1 in 3 South Australians believe they are discriminated against because of their ethnic, cultural, racial background or appearance. There is no place for racism in South Australia, including the public sector. Racism in all forms must be addressed to foster an equitable and inclusive culture that our sector strives for. Last year OCPSE launched the SA public sector’s inaugural Ani-Racism Strategy and Action Plan in partnership with Preventive Health SA. The strategy and action plan outlines how the sector can build the cultural capacity of all employees, providing training and resources to enable employees to stand up and act against racism. Watch the Anti-Racism Strategy video and hear leaders speak openly about this important issue and how we not only need to call people out, but also call people into the conversation to build relationships and connections.
