Today, we remember Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and his unwavering commitment to justice, equality, and human dignity. He believed that access to quality healthcare is a fundamental right for all, and that no one should be left behind because of race, background, or income.

✨ “Of all the forms of inequality, injustice in health is the most shocking and inhuman.” ✨

Is 2026 the new 2016?

In 2016, Bellevue—America’s oldest hospital and a preeminent innovator in public health—was finally given her flowers with Bellevue: Three Centuries of Medicine and Mayhem at America’s Most Storied Hospital, a definitive history by David Oshinsky.

In 2026, we’re celebrating 290 years of medical milestones in innovation, research, and patient care. Some stories don’t age—they evolve. And this one is still on fleek.

Check out this interview with Mr. Oshinsky on the history of Bellevue from CBS Sunday Morning.

💊 Happy National Pharmacist Day! 💊
We’re not saying hug your pharmacist today... but we’re also not saying don’t hug your pharmacist.

From making sure we get the right meds to offering advice on how to stay healthy, pharmacists are always there when we need them most.

Take a moment today to thank them for all they do—and maybe offer a fist bump or a high five.

Long before The Pitt brought hospital drama to our TV screens, Bellevue was already setting the standard for emergency care. In 1876, Bellevue opened the nation’s first Emergency Pavilion, establishing itself as a pioneer in emergency medicine. Today, we are a Level 1 Trauma Center capable of managing the most serious illnesses and injuries.

From those early days, Bellevue has been tackling high-stakes cases with unmatched skill and dedication. While The Pitt continues to entertain us with fictional drama, Bellevue’s real-life heroes have been saving lives and leading the way in medical innovation for over a century.
