Juneteenth is in its second year as a federally-recognized holiday. While a lot of federal and state workers will be off, it will be a workday for a lot of workers at private employers.
CLEVELAND, Ohio —
“University Hospitals celebrates Juneteenth with our caregivers as part of our Diversity, Equity and Inclusion initiatives,” a statement from the hospital read. “For example, our most recent Standing Up Against Racism education series featured a panel discussion surrounding the intersection of food insecurity and race and introduced the work Giant Eagle has taken on to increase food access in Black communities. As with many federal holidays, our retail locations and corporate offices will remain open on Juneteenth to best serve our communities.”
