Today, we came together to celebrate Juneteenth with a powerful program that honored freedom, resilience, culture, and the enduring contributions of the Black community.

The celebration featured inspiring musical performances, prayers, a presentation on the history and significance of Juneteenth, and an energetic dance performance by the Harambee Dance Co. that captivated the audience and highlighted the richness of African and African American culture.

We were especially honored to welcome Senator Kevin Parker, whose leadership helped make Juneteenth an official New York State holiday. Thank you, Senator Parker, for joining us as we celebrated this important day and reflected on the progress that has been made while recognizing the work that still lies ahead.

A special thank you to MetroPlusHealth for their support of this celebration and their continued partnership in helping us engage and uplift the communities we serve.

Thank you to everyone who attended and helped make this celebration so meaningful. Together, we honor the past, celebrate the present, and continue to build a more equitable future for all.

Yesterday, we celebrated Father’s Day a little early with an afternoon dedicated to relaxation, appreciation, and fun!

Staff enjoyed chair massages, manicures, delicious food, great music, and a friendly mini golf competition that brought out plenty of smiles and laughter. The event was a small way to recognize and thank the fathers, father figures, and all the dedicated team members who make a difference every day.

Thank you to everyone who joined us and helped create such a memorable celebration. We wish all fathers and father figures a Happy Father’s Day!

We are grateful to our sponsors, ArchCare, Dr. Bechoy Abdelmalak, and Dr. Ashraf El-Shafei, whose generosity helped make this event possible. We also extend our sincere thanks to our community partners, New York Health Care, MetroPlusHealth, Healthfirst, MCU: Municipal Credit Union, and FirstBank, for their continued support and commitment to the communities we serve.

Your presence helped make this inaugural event a tremendous success.

This outing was more than a day on the golf course—it was an opportunity to strengthen partnerships, celebrate collaboration, and invest in the future of Metropolitan Hospital. Thank you to everyone who participated, sponsored, volunteered, and supported this special event. We look forward to making this the first of many successful golf outings to come!
