Black History Month – Equality in Healthcare

Written by Valerie Melroy on February 25, 2022.

Voice and Vision wants to recognize Black History Month each February, yet we believe people who are Black or African American should be honored and recognized all year long for their gifts, creativity, talents, and contributions that helped to make America the great nation she is today.
