#BlackLivesMatter
Equilibrium Wellness Providers, Doctors, Patients, and Friends,
As healthcare providers we aim to support our individual patients, but our service must extend to supporting our local communities and all Americans. Racism is a systemic disease of our society, and it is our duty as clinicians to fight disease.
Equilibrium stands with #blacklivesmatter. We stand against racial injustice, police brutality, and the deep-rooted inequity in our country for black Americans.
We understand that it’s not enough to sympathize with #blacklivesmatter and be a silent advocate. All Americans must be active in the discussion and demonstrate an effort to enact change from deep within our foundation. Equilibrium PT has made a donation to Campaign Zero to fight police brutality, and we have provided organizations below so that you too can show your support.
We aim to heal our country as we do our patients. We stand with #blacklivesmatter, we ACT for #blacklivesmatter.
