We are sharing tips to help you enjoy a healthy holiday! 🎄

When making your plate at your next meal, try to picture the healthy plate model where half of your plate consists of non-starchy vegetables, a quarter is protein, and the remaining quarter is carbohydrates. This can help you still enjoy your favorite foods in moderation!

When Dr. Jackson and Sister Margaret began their work in 1985, no one imagined how far those first steps would reach.

Through the 1990s and 2000s, volunteers helped the clinic take root. Nurses, pharmacists, students, and neighbors turned a modest building on Sprague Street into a trusted home for people who often fall through the cracks.

MLK Health’s story proves that powerful change doesn’t require big budgets — it grows from compassion, consistency, and community. Today, as we celebrate 40 years, we honor everyone who helped us get here and everyone who continues to carry the mission forward.

Over the years, every new program, partnership, and patient story has added another ring to the tree Dr. Jackson and Sister Margaret planted in 1985.

What began as a simple act of service has grown into a community cornerstone — a place that teaches, heals, and connects people far beyond medicine. Those early seeds of compassion took root because volunteers, students, and partners believed healthcare should always have a human face.

Forty years later, that legacy still guides us. No matter how the healthcare system changes, there will always be people who need help — and a community willing to show up for them.
