"Life's most persistent and urgent question is: What are we doing for others?"
 - Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. 

At TriHealth, we honor the life and legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.’s many contributions to freedom, equity, and service to others. It is through TriHealth’s mission that we live out his dream by being intentional in reducing health disparities through the TriHealth Center for Health Equity, implicit bias training, and community service. This year, we are excited to host a variety of interactive and community service-related events in celebration of this important national holiday. We encourage all team members to help keep Dr. King’s dream in motion by participating in the events below.
