Broad Reach Healthcare Happenings

If you’re not familiar with Amanda Gorman, she is the first person to be named National Youth Poet Laureate. Now 25 years-old, she read this poem in when she was only 22, at the inauguration of the president.

But its words are shared now as something which hopefully transcends politics, uniquely capturing a sense of what Juneteenth asks us to consider. All staff are asked to read the poem—at just over 700 words, it takes only a few minutes.

All are further invited to share the one line in the poem that is most impactful to them, and/or anything from their histories regarding the impact of slavery and the subsequent emancipation. These responses will be compiled and shared back (anonymously) with everyone in July.

You may reply simply by writing on the reverse side of this slip and turning your slip into one of the collection boxes at the LC and VIC entrances, time clocks or in the BRH office. Alternatively, submit electronically by scanning the QR code.



All staff submitting will receive continuing education credit AND will be entered into a raffle to be drawn at July’s Smooth Sailor / Length of Service reception.
