A message from Julie Miller Phipps, president, Kaiser Permanente Southern California, Health Plan and Hospitals, and Ed Ellison, MD, executive medical director, Southern California Permanente Medical Group:
From the recent killings of George Floyd, Ahmaud Arbery and Breonna Taylor to the discrimination faced by Christian Cooper, our society is faced with stark reminders of the frequent injustices we must continue to fight. America must do better, we can all do better, and Kaiser Permanente is committed to addressing the root causes of this painful inequity. This is why we are supporting and personally planning to participate in tomorrow’s “Moment of Solidarity” to recognize the need for greater equity and inclusion:
What: A “Moment of Solidarity,” in which staff and physicians who choose to do may come together to kneel or stand silently for 8 minutes and 46 seconds. Participation can be at your desk in your department, with a larger group outside of the facility, or from your remote work location.
When: Friday, June 5, from 12:30 p.m. to 12:49 p.m. FULL DETAILS HERE [1].
