Today, we come together to celebrate Women’s Equality Day, a significant milestone in our ongoing journey towards gender equality and empowerment. This day marks the anniversary of the 19th Amendment’s certification, granting women the right to vote in the United States. However, it is more than just a historical landmark; it is a reminder of our collective responsibility to ensure that equality extends beyond legal rights to all aspects of life, including our workplace. At InterDent, we are committed to fostering an inclusive environment where every individual, regardless of gender, can thrive and achieve their fullest potential. Our dedication to gender equality is reflected in our policies, practices, and culture. From ensuring equal opportunities for career advancement to supporting women in leadership, we strive to be a beacon of equality in the industry. Today, we want to acknowledge and celebrate the incredible contributions of the women at InterDent. Your talent, innovation, and leadership are vital to our success. You inspire us daily and remind us of the importance of diversity in driving creativity and excellence. As we honor this day, let us also reflect on the work that remains. Gender equality is not just a women’s issue; it is a human rights issue that requires the active participation of everyone. We encourage each of you to continue supporting and advocating for equality in all areas of life. Whether it’s through mentorship, allyship, or simply listening and learning, every action counts towards building a more equitable future. Happy Women’s Equality Day!

As we acknowledge Juneteenth, we commemorate a pivotal moment in history—the end of slavery in the United States. This June 19th is not just a marker of freedom but a testament to resilience, hope, and the enduring pursuit of equality. Our company’s core mission, vision and values are deeply intertwined with the spirit of Juneteenth. Today, we want to reflect on how these principles guide us and inspire our path forward. The journey towards equality and justice has always demanded unwavering integrity. In our daily operations, we commit to honesty, transparency, and ethical practices for our patients. Let us honor Juneteenth by continuing to uphold these principles, ensuring that our actions consistently reflect our words. Juneteenth is a powerful reminder of the strength found in diversity. Our company thrives because of the varied perspectives, backgrounds, and experiences each of you brings. By embracing diversity, we foster an environment where creativity and innovation flourish. Let's continue to champion inclusivity, ensuring everyone’s voice is heard and valued. The fight for freedom and equality has always been driven by visionary thinking and courageous action. As a company, we are dedicated to innovation, pushing boundaries, and creating solutions that drive progress.

We are stronger together, and our collective efforts create meaningful change. Whether supporting each other within our company or contributing to our broader community, let’s commit to building a culture of support, compassion, and mutual respect. #Juneteenth

June is Pride Month, and we’re proud to celebrate alongside our LGBTQ colleagues, communities, and patients. InterDent is thoroughly committed to Diversity & Inclusion; respecting diverse voices and perspectives is key to fostering an environment in which everyone, including our patients, feels valued. Gay Pride commemorates the series of violent acts between police and gay rights activists, also known as the Stonewall Riots, which began in the early hours of June 28, 1969. After police raided the Stonewall Inn bar in New York City’s Greenwich Village neighborhood, the gay rights movement was born. It is a time to recognize past struggles, past victories, current progress, and to celebrate your unique and authentic self. This month is the ideal time to support and foster an inclusive work environment where all of our team members feel heard and supported. At InterDent, we believe that everyone deserves to bring their authentic self to work every day, as our collective sum of individual differences only makes us stronger. We embrace and encourage our team members’ and patients’ unique differences; moreover, we are committed to educating our team on key issues in Diversity and Inclusion and continuing to rally behind the message of equality for all. As healthcare providers, each day presents us with the critical opportunity to eliminate health disparities and shape the health and overall well-being of our patients and the communities we serve. Diversity and Inclusion should be a focus in everything we do as we attract, develop, and retain the best talent in the marketplace. To succeed as a company and to operate at the top of our industry, we need to reflect the communities we serve and harness the unique talents of everyone. Let us recognize, honor, and celebrate the diversity of our team members, patients, and communities. Feeling included and respected is a fundamental right, and all of us have a responsibility to support one another. At InterDent, we stand together, always celebrating our differences and taking pride in one another. #pridemonth
