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 local 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:

1. Healthy Living – reducing and preventing obesity
2. Healthy Aging – increasing well being and independence for older adults
3. 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.

Building on our solid reputation as a trusted steward and catalyst for change, The Health Trust is now poised to begin an exciting new chapter under the leadership of newly appointed CEO, Fred Ferrer.

We hope you join us to make our vision a reality.
