Juneteenth replaces Christmas Eve as paid holiday at Emory Healthcare
- Emory Healthcare in Georgia will replace the paid holiday for Christmas Eve with Juneteenth as an observed holiday, sparking frustration among employees. This decision is based on the company's commitment to "diversity, equity, and inclusion" and will reduce the number of paid holidays to nine. Some employees and community members believe that both holidays could have been observed without one being dropped.
- Emory Healthcare CEO, Joon S. Lee, explained that the change was made after listening to employee feedback and to avoid impacting patient care by adding an additional paid holiday. Emory Healthcare is one of the largest private employers in Atlanta and includes 11 hospitals and over 250 provider locations.
- The decision to replace Christmas Eve with Juneteenth has faced criticism, with concerns that it pits a Christian holiday against a celebration of the end of slavery. Some employees feel frustrated and believe that the change undermines the importance of Christmas Eve. The NAACP DeKalb County chapter president expressed disappointment and suggested that alternative solutions could have been explored.
