On behalf of the PLTC DE& I Committee, please see a list of April diversity holidays below.
In light of the ongoing George Floyd trial in Minnesota and heightened concerns about the growing violence toward Asian American and Pacific Islander older adults (and AAPI women), the Diversity, Equity, & Inclusion Committee of PLTC humbly continues our monthly sharing of notable dates important to diverse groups whom we work with and among.
Our sincere hope is that knowledge of the following APRIL holidays and celebrations may enhance our clinical impact with patients and their families, may drive increased tolerance in our local communities, and may contribute to continuous improvement in workplace equity needs across our various occupational settings. Thank you for being courageous advocates who work to promote safe and contemplative spaces where all members of our human family can be heard and supported and where all people have the chance to learn and grow.
