Black History Month is an intentional time to highlight the achievements of Black people in our country and call to mind the important and often forgotten roles Black people played in United States and healthcare history. During the month of February, we will be celebrating Black healthcare heroes in our nation as well as within Kettering Health.
Each week, we will be sending you resources like books, podcasts, documentaries, recipes, movies, and TV shows that celebrate Black life and learn more about the Black experience and Black history.
Resources for week one will be posted on Monday, February 7 and weeks two, three, and four will be posted each following Monday. We invite you to come back to this page each week and join us in celebrating Black History Month.
