Today, we honor the life and legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. with his powerful reminder: "Of all the forms of inequality, injustice in health is the most shocking and inhuman because it often results in physical death."

From combating food insecurity to advancing chronic disease prevention & management, and supporting families with disabilities, our work reflects his call to action. Together, let’s create a future where health equity is a reality for all. #MLKDay #HealthEquity #SocialJustice #SiliconValley #TheHealthTrust
