⭐️ Our staff joined together for our 2026 Stand Against Racism event, an annual gathering where we reflect on experiences with racism and the role each of us has in eradicating it. This year our event focused on addressing health inequities and featured an informative panel with our partners from Health Equity Solutions, Hispanic Health Council and Charter Oak Health Center, Inc., as well as resources with Access Health CT.
Following tradition, the event included a walk of silence to honor those impacted by racism and reaffirm our commitment to equity. The Village is proud to be an anti-racist organization. Learn about our approach: thevillage.org/overview/
