Community-based Care for All San Franciscans

Everyone is welcome here, no matter your ability to pay, lack of insurance, or immigration status. We’re much more than a medical facility; we’re a health care community promoting good health for all San Franciscans.

We’re part of a large group of neighborhood clinics and healthcare providers in the San Francisco Health Network operated by the San Francisco Department of Public Health. In partnership, we provide primary care for all ages, specialty care, dentistry, emergency and trauma care, and acute care for the people of San Francisco.

Refocus your mental health.

As days begin to cool and sunlight decreases, make your mental health a priority. Try out new hobbies such as sports or crafts, or perhaps, try out occasional digital detoxes. Reach out to a loved one or your care provider if you need help.

Enjoy seasonal fruits and vegetables!

Fall is full of delicious harvest such as pumpkin, squash, beets, okra and cranberries – all packed with a wealth of nutrition. It’s also a great opportunity to try out a new recipe!

Weather the weather.

As temperatures drop this season, it’s still a good idea to get outdoors to maintain overall wellness as it can improve mental health, lowers heart rate and blood pressure, and we can still get the Vitamin D we need! (Don’t forget the sunscreen and a light jacket or scarf in preparation for the microclimates!)

Schedule a wellbeing checkup.

Make an appointment to visit your primary care provider and dentist for a checkup and preventative services as well as to discuss any health concerns you may have.

Hand Washing

General health reminders:

Consider masking.

While it’s not required in the community, consider masking if you have been exposed to COVID-19, if you spend indoor time with someone who is vulnerable, or when you are indoors during times when the virus is circulating in the population at high levels. If you are at higher risk of becoming severely ill, consider masking when in indoor public settings with poor ventilation or when traveling on public transportation. Note that masks are still required in healthcare settings where patients may be present.

Wash your hands.

Use soap and clean running water for 20 seconds to keep your hands clean and reduce the spread of germs.

Get vaccinated.

Get your COVID-19 and Flu vaccines to protect yourself and others against illness. If you are 60 years or older, talk with your healthcare provider about the RSV vaccine.

Let’s enjoy all that Fall has to offer in a safe and healthy manner!
