Race to Value

In honor of Indigenous Peoples’ Day, let’s take a moment to reflect on the rich histories, cultures, and contributions of Native communities across the globe. It’s an opportunity to honor Indigenous resilience, wisdom, and the deep connections they maintain with the land. In healthcare and business, we have a responsibility to recognize and address the disparities that Indigenous populations face. It’s not just about equity—it’s about building a system that respects and integrates Indigenous knowledge and perspectives for a healthier, more inclusive future. Today, and every day, let’s listen, learn, and uplift Indigenous voices. #IndigenousPeoplesDay #Equity #Inclusion #HealthcareJustice
