Health Equity Starts With Racial Justice

Systemic racism continues to drive health disparities and unequal treatment in the health care system, leaving too many of our neighbors behind in the fight for health equity and social justice.

At Whittier Street Health Center, we're working every day to rebuild trust by providing culturally competent services, breaking down barriers to access, and recruiting a diverse network of health care professionals who reflect and connect to the lived experiences of the communities we serve. Our commitment to racial justice lies at the heart of everything we do to improve health equity and build better opportunities for all.

Today, we honor the life and enduring legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., whose commitment to service and social justice continues to guide our mission.

Among his many insights, Dr. King believed that “of all the forms of inequality, injustice in health is the most shocking and the most inhuman.” At Whittier, this truth lies at the heart of our work to break down the structural barriers that impact the health of our communities, from food insecurity to housing instability, to unemployment and neighborhood violence. Dr. King’s memory serves as a reminder that advancing health equity is a moral imperative and collective responsibility we must uphold every day.

Bringing smiles, joy, and shiny new toys!

Our annual Clean Teeth for Toys event on December 17th brought families together for a festive afternoon celebrating shiny teeth and shiny new toys. Children received oral hygiene kits, enjoyed delicious treats, and got a special visit from Santa Claus! Along with the holiday fun, families learned simple ways to support healthy brushing habits and keep their children’s smiles bright all year long. It was a joyful celebration of oral health and holiday cheer for families across our community.
