Over the past several weeks, #TeamMoonsail has practiced our allyship by holding space for those voices that urgently needed to ring out. We also proudly joined Black Americans and allies in observing Juneteenth, also known as Freedom Day, as a paid holiday. We're inspired by Black Lives Matter protests, and our blog post shares ways we've been listening and working to write a better story, together.

#TeamMoonsail's daily #WFH reality includes juggling pets and children during video calls, living in our Slack channels, and strategic snack and caffeine breaks to complete client work. Moonsail North was proud to support Michigan State University's College of Osteopathic Medicine in launching its first-ever virtual graduation ceremony, which honored the resilient #SpartanDO Class of 2020.

The #OneSparrow campaign we launched this month for Sparrow Health System celebrates our local health care #COVID19heroes while they work on the front lines saving lives.

What do you do when the highlight of your undergraduate career is upended by a global pandemic hitting home? MSU's College of Osteopathic Medicine navigated this reality this month. Because Match Day—an in-person celebration in which fourth-year medical students learn where they will spend the next few years in residency—could not be held as planned, these resilient #SpartanDO students took part in the college's first virtual #MatchDay2020 campaign.

Moonsail North was grateful to work with the talented College of Osteopathic comms crew to launch this social campaign. Congratulations to this Class of 2020 training to join the front lines of health care professionals healing the world—professionals like the physicians, nurses and staff at Sparrow Health System on COVID-19 front lines as we speak.
