Description
Tacoma joined the rest of the country in celebrating Juneteenth, with songs, food, and fellowship.
But while many were enjoying the day, Alicia Klein was on the clock. Klein currently works as the president of Leaders in Women’s Health and says she joined because she saw a disturbing pattern during her years working in healthcare.
“I noticed there was a huge disconnect between leadership, and the folks taking care of the patients,” she said. “Most of the folks taking care of the patients looked like me, were people of color, and then you had leadership in the hospital who were old, White men.”
