The Health Trust
Company Overview
The Health Trust is a 501c3 organization that was founded in 1996 as a community benefit foundation with $52 million in assets from the sale of four San Jose, CA nonprofit hospitals.
To date, The Health Trust has provided over $100 million of benefit to the community through a multi-faceted approach including grant making activity, policy and advocacy, direct health services such as such as Meals on Wheels, AIDS Services, Children's Dental Services, Wellness Access & Education and partnerships such as Healthy Silicon Valley.
Our vision is to transform Silicon Valley into the healthiest region in the country through three initiatives:
Healthy Living – reducing and preventing obesity
Healthy Aging – increasing well being and independence for older adults
Healthy Communities – reducing health disparities
These initiatives will make a positive impact across all of the levels of influence that affect health - from individual behaviors to broader levels such as neighborhood conditions and policies.
