Today, we honor the life, legacy, and leadership of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., a champion for justice, equity, and human dignity.
At the National Medical Association, we remain committed to advancing the work Dr. King fought for by advocating for health equity, expanding access to quality care, and addressing the disparities that continue to impact Black communities across our nation.
On this day of remembrance and service, may we all be inspired to lead with courage, compassion, and purpose, and continue building a healthier, more just future for all.
