San Francisco Community Health Center operates as a federally qualified health center in San Francisco, connecting primary care with mental health services and broader community supports. Its work spans health care delivery, education, training, and policy efforts aimed at improving health, wellness, and equality, with health care grounded in social justice. The organization centers the needs of people of color and LGBTQ communities, seeking to ensure access to high-quality care across the care continuum. Based in San Francisco, California, the center traces its origins to 1996 as API Wellness and has evolved into a broader health-care organization. In early 2024, it opened a new drop-in health and resource center at 645 Larkin Street, expanding access for the community. The center has collaborated with academic partners, including a 2023 partnership with the University of California, San Francisco’s Alliance Health Project on the Lotus Project, an HIV prevention initiative.
