On Monday, January 19, 2026, we join communities across the nation in honoring the life, legacy, and enduring impact of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. MLK Day is more than a federal holiday—it is a National Day of Service and reflection that invites us to actively work toward the “Beloved Community” Dr. King envisioned. �
This day calls on each of us to pause, learn, and engage. Across Boston and surrounding communities, individuals and organizations will gather to serve, reflect, and deepen their understanding of Dr. King’s vision for justice, equity, and collective responsibility.
Dr. King’s values strongly align with DotHouse’s mission and ongoing commitment to justice, health equity, and meaningful dialogue. As a community health center, we see every day how fairness, dignity, and access to care are essential to building healthier communities. Our current and active Community, Culture, & Belonging (CCB) Committee aims to help acknowledge and discuss these issues. Look out for upcoming CCB updates!
Dr. King was a leader of profound faith, compassion, and courage. He challenged us to recognize that progress requires intention and action, reminding us that “the time is always right to do what is right.” His call to uphold human dignity and equality remains as urgent today as ever.
At DotHouse, we remain steadfast in representing and advocating for those impacted by inequities in our health care system and society. Our commitment to continuous learning, reflection, and improvement is central to who we are—and to the care we provide.
As we honor Dr. King’s birthday, let us recommit ourselves to his legacy by fostering welcoming spaces, standing up for justice, and serving our community with compassion and purpose.
Thank you!
