The Health Trust Initiatives:  Healthy Living, Healthy Aging, Healthy Communities

"It's important that all of us make a concerted attempt to focus our energies and efforts on preventing disease, not just treating it...more illnesses would be avoided, fewer lives would be lost, and there would be more efficient use of our limited health care resources."

-Former CDC Director Julie Gerberding, MD

Initiatives Overview

The vision of The Health Trust is to make Silicon Valley the healthiest region in America—a place where every resident can achieve optimal health throughout their lifetime, no matter their background, income, race, ethnicity or age. We believe that health care does not just take place in a doctor’s office and clinic or hospital. For everyone to achieve optimal health, the community itself must become a place that supports the health of all its residents.

  • Through our Healthy Living work, we aim to reduce obesity by creating changes in our environment to increasing residents’ access to nutrition and physical activity.
  • Through our Healthy Aging work, we help older adults spend more years in good health, engaged as vital members of their communities.
  • Through our Healthy Communities work, we aspire to achieve health equity, so that social and economic circumstances are not barriers to good health.
