The Health Trust

OUR MISSION: TO BUILD HEALTH EQUITY IN SILICON VALLEY

We believe that everyone in our community should have the opportunity to be healthy. A person’s income, race, immigration status, language, age, or zip code should never act as a barrier to health.

In 1996, The Health Trust was formed from the sale of a local nonprofit hospital system to a for-profit corporation. Since then, we have served the Silicon Valley community as a nonprofit operating foundation. The Health Trust is what's known as a "hospital conversion foundation" or "health care conversion foundation."

For over 20 years we’ve ensured that health related grants, policies, and services exist to help give everyone the opportunity to be healthy - especially the most vulnerable. That’s what building health equity means to us.

It’s a mission driven by our core values, and one that we try to achieve as a local provider, funder, and advocate. But we can’t do it alone. With the support of our funders, donors, and volunteers, and by partnering with community-based organizations, policymakers, and local leaders, together we can build the equity we seek.

Because everyone’s health matters.
