UCLA Health joined the city of Los Angeles and the Los Angeles Jazz Festival Foundation on Juneteenth weekend to celebrate the ribbon-cutting for the New Orleans Corridor on Jefferson Boulevard in South Los Angeles.
It was a “moment for liberation as well as jubilation,” said Medell Briggs-Malonson, MD, MPH, chief of Health Equity, Diversity and Inclusion for the UCLA Hospital and Clinic System and associate professor of Emergency Medicine at the David Geffen School of Medicine at UCLA.
“At UCLA Health we believe in advancing health justice as well as social justice,” she said.
