At the Health Trust, we are honored to support hundreds of veteran clients through our various services each year. Meet Michael and Bill, two clients of The Health Trust that served in our Country’s military.
Michael Moore served four years in the Marines, traveling all over the world, including the Philippines, Japan, and Norway. Michael came to The Health Trust with an HIV diagnoses after he began to lose his eyesight. He had been told on three different occasions that he only had a year to live. However, Michael is strong, and has proven those doctors wrong.
Today, he depends on The Health Trust’s Jerry Larson Food Basket for healthy food because the medication he takes for his adrenal glands must be taken with a meal. Without the Food Basket, Michael says he would not have nutritious meals to eat everyday. Michael utilizes a bus pass he received from The Health Trust to help him get around town as he can no longer drive. He also utilizes our free condom services. “Safety first!” he says. Michael recommends The Health Trust’s services to others in need of extra support and is grateful for the services he receives and the Health Trust team that supports him.
Bill Moberg is a 78-year-old Army veteran who has received Meals on Wheels from The Health Trust for many years. And Bill knows food. He was drafted into the Army and served as an Army Cook for four years, one of those years in South Korea. After being honorably discharged, he completed six years in the reserves. Today, Bill relies on Meals on Wheels for nutritious and tasty home-delivered meals to help his stay healthy and maintain his independence.
Join us in honoring veterans, like Bill and Michael, today by making a donation to support this critical work.

Eddie Garcia grew up in East San Jose and has spent his life giving back to that community, whether it was through his leadership with the Mexican Heritage Corp. or the Latino Leadership Alliance. But now, he’s leading by example in sharing the story of his personal health journey, which includes a crippling heart attack in 2010 and a heart transplant in 2020.
Today Sept. 29 — which is World Heart Day — Garcia will talk about what kept him going with NBC Bay Area’s Damian Trujillo at a free event at the Santa Clara Family Health Plan’s Blanca Alvarado Community Resource Center, 408 N.

"My mind swirled with random thoughts that ranged from doom to confusion to relief. We got to the elevator in the hospital and went down one floor. When the elevator doors opened, we raced across the lobby straight into the emergency room, where I arrived at 7:41 p.m. Three doctors wearing white smocks waited for us. Within seconds, I got my answer. One of the doctors said, in a calm and matter-of-fact voice, “Mr. García, you’re having a heart attack.” ~ Chapter 13, Page 90
Join Damian Trujillo and Eddie Garcia, next Thursday to learn about Eddie’s story of being on life support during the summer of 2010, his 2020 heart transplant, and living with faith, hope, and love.

Santa Clara County couple Henry and Mary have a number of chronic illnesses, and when Henry started taking , the medical expenses piled up. They got help from the county's MedAssist program, which defrays the cost of insulin and several other life-saving drugs.
Mary said the enrollment process was simple: The couple had to upload a tax return, proof of purchase of Henry’s insulin and proof of residency in the county.
“That’s really all there was,” Mary said. “They got back to us within 24 hours.

Today, we joined Grantmakers In Health and Sustainable Agriculture and Food Systems Funders (SAFSF), along with The Funders Network, Grantmakers for Education, Native Americans in Philanthropy, and 49 other organizations in philanthropy in sending a letter to President Biden in support of the White House Conference on Hunger, Nutrition, and Health. This letter outlines four recommendations for the Administration and federal agencies to adopt leading up to and following the conference. The coalition urges an approach that tackles the root causes of hunger and health inequities - poverty, racism, discrimination, and rural disinvestment - and lays out specific policy and regulatory areas to end hunger and increase nutrition and health.
