In this #BeyondClinicalMedicine episode, guest host Brian Brown, MBA, Sr. Clinical Practice Manager, Post-Acute Care, speaks with Rex Everett, Vice President, Business Development, about Juneteenth, offering personal reflections and education on the long-standing celebration and observance of the holiday.
