World Health Day is About Community—And So Are We
Quality of health isn’t a privilege—it’s a human right. Across the world and in our own communities, millions lack access to essential healthcare services. World Health Day is a moment to recognize these disparities and highlight the real-world solutions that create healthier futures.
World Health Day was established to commemorate the founding of the World Health Organization (WHO) and to spotlight a critical health theme each year. In 2023, as the WHO celebrated its 75th anniversary, the theme “Health For All” emphasized the ongoing pursuit of universal healthcare access.
At Legacy Construction, we believe in tackling these challenges one community at a time, using data-backed strategies to build healthcare facilities where they’re needed most. That same year, Legacy broke ground on two United Health Centers (UHC) facilities in Fresno’s 93725 and 93726 communities, areas where access to care has historically been out of reach for too many.
These projects are proof that where you build healthcare truly matters, as it determines who exactly receives treatment, and that’s why we build with innovation, integrity, and impact. Our goal is to make the world healthier one neighborhood at a time.
Health inequality starts with access, so we build to bridge the gap. Across the globe, millions face barriers to medical care due to geography, income, or systemic inequities. Here in Fresno, the data tells a similar story.
First & Gettysburg – 93726 (2023):
47% of residents live in poverty
49% went without dental care in the past year
25% lack a usual source of healthcare
Cedar & Jensen – 93725 (2023):
The poverty rate skyrocketed from 40% to 75% (2021-2023)
40% of residents diagnosed with hypertension
53% lacked dental care
Good healthcare extends beyond checkups and treatments—it’s about creating environments and communities where people feel valued and supported. These facilities were designed with whole-patient wellness in mind, ensuring that everyone from children to seniors and agricultural workers to families has access to high-quality, compassionate care. To combat these healthcare droughts, the following services will be offered:
First & Gettysburg – 93726:
14 Medical Exam Rooms
10 Dental Operatories
2 Behavioral Health Offices
2 Optical Exam Rooms
X Ray Services

World Health Day reminds us that healthcare is about more than just treatment—it’s about the people, relationships, and support systems that make communities stronger.
Every healthcare facility we build is a commitment to the future of the communities we serve. With data-driven planning, innovative problem-solving, and strong local partnerships, Legacy Construction is transforming lives one project at a time.
Approaching eight decades of advancing global health, this World Health Day, we reflect on what it truly means to build for impact—because a healthier community starts with access, opportunity, and the people that make it possible.
