“The only way to keep your health is to eat what you don’t want, drink what you don’t like, and do what you’d rather not”

SWCCSF takes great pride in its commitment to comprehensive healthcare and community well-being. In partnership with the San Francisco Department of Public Health (DPH), we provide a wide-ranging healthcare program that covers essential services like flu shots, COVID-19 vaccinations, boosters, test-to-treat options for COVID-19, and TB testing offered through DPH. These offerings are designed to ensure our community has access to critical healthcare resources when they need them most, and we prioritize staying up-to-date with the latest health guidelines and recommendations provided by DPH.

Our collaborative efforts extend beyond healthcare, as we forge strategic partnerships with esteemed institutions like the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF). These alliances enable us to offer mini health screenings and programs, with a particular emphasis on addressing chronic illnesses such as Diabetes and High Blood Pressure (HBP). UCSF provides valuable expertise and resources to help community members manage these conditions effectively. Additionally, we offer comprehensive health screenings in partnership with UCSF, ensuring early detection and prevention of health issues.

Emphasizing health disparities is a core aspect of our mission. We actively work to address disparities in health outcomes, particularly in communities affected by Diabetes, High Blood Pressure (HBP), and other health issues such as Cancer, Auto-Immune disease and HIV/Aids. 

Through our partnership with UCSF and other experts in the field, we provide tailored programs and resources to reduce these disparities. Our goal is to improve health equity by ensuring that everyone in our community has access to the necessary resources and information to manage their health effectively.

In addition to healthcare, SWCCSF is deeply committed to providing information and referral (I&R) services. Our knowledgeable team, in collaboration with Unite Us, assists individuals in navigating critical resources such as SSI, SSDI, food stamps, legal aid, and more. We understand that accessing these services can be challenging, and our I&R program aims to simplify the process, ensuring that everyone in our community can access the support they need.

Furthermore, we offer small group sessions focusing on alternative health and well-being, including activities like 12-step programs, grief and alternative support groups facilitated in partnership with Community Well and Tendwell. We recognize the importance of holistic health and healing, and these small groups provide a safe and supportive environment for individuals to connect, heal, and grow together.

Lastly, our commitment to accessibility is exemplified by our efforts in assisting community members in obtaining transportation. We provide guidance and support in accessing services such as paratransit and local transportation options, specifically tailored to meet the needs of seniors and individuals with disabilities. 

At SWCCSF, our dedication to comprehensive care extends to every aspect of our community's well-being, ensuring that no one is left without the support they require.
