Some moments deserve more than just one day.

In January, MASS joined community leaders and partners to celebrate the life and legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. at the 12th Annual S. Delois Mayes Scholarship Foundation Brunch in Suffolk, Virginia.

We’re grateful to stand in spaces that honor history while investing in the future.

Black History Month is more than reflection.

It’s a platform to speak honestly about health equity, name the disparities affecting Black communities, and uplift the work being done to close those gaps.

This February, we’ll be centering Black health, amplifying education, and pushing for access to prevention, care, and dignity for all.

Welcome to Black History Month 🖤
