In a diverse community discrimination will always exist. It is our job as decent human beings to address it, like it is our job as healthcare providers to treat disease.

National Children Day dates back to 1856. Originally called Rose Day. Reverend Dr. Charles Leonard started it. As a special day to baptize children in the community. Since, then there has been day set aside to honor and celebrate children.
