Today, we celebrate #Juneteenth, which marked the end of slavery here in the U.S. It also serves as a powerful reminder we still have a long way to go in ongoing efforts towards equity. This makes us reflect on last year when our CEO, Greg Paulson, and Chief Community Care Officer, Cheryl Towns, were invited to Bank of America's Combined Leadership Development Program in Charlotte, NC. There, they had the opportunity to meet "The Grandmother of Juneteenth," and social activist, Opal Lee, who successfully advocated for Juneteenth to be recognized as a federal holiday.

Kim has worked in educational settings from elementary to secondary school in a variety of special education programs before she transitioned into public health. As a mom of 2, she brings her lived experience in the maternal and reproductive health space to this role, which has made her passionate about improving experiences for birthing people, particularly Black birthing people, in our area! 🧡 #TrentonNJ #NewJersey #MaternalHealth
