At San Francisco Community Health Center, “Queer Joy is Resistance” speaks directly to the heart of our work and our people. We see queer joy every day: in the laughter shared between chosen family at Trans:Thrive, in a client walking out of our clinic with dignity and care, in community members demanding justice and still dancing in the streets. That joy is the medicine, the movement, and the revolution.
As the people’s choice SF Pride Grand Marshal, we carry this honor with pride, resistance, and love. Check our our SF Pride page to learn more about what we’re up to and how to join our celebration.
It is in our power to create the world that we deserve, one that respects, honors and cares for all of us.
Our mission is to transform lives by advancing health, wellness, & equality. We believe that a sense of belonging is a basic human need. Our work is more than health services, it is the cultivation of belonging for our clients through our comprehensive and integrated services.

OUR WORK
For SFCHC, healing justice looks like practicing health care that is whole-person and expansive
If we are to truly address the structures and conditions that shape the health and wellness of our communities long before medical intervention, we must think of health care expansively. We believe that health care starts with healing justice and meeting the basic needs of our communities. Our culturally informed services are designed by the very people we serve.
SOCIAL
SERVICES
Health and well-being requires more than just medical care. Health care should be expansive and must address the social and structural conditions that impact the health and wellness of our communities.
MOVEMENT
BUILDING
We mobilize our communities, cultivate relationships with policy-makers and change-makers, and follow community leadership to move us towards a community-centered vision for health justice.
HEALTH
SERVICES
Affirming and client-driven health services address the medical and mental health needs of historically marginalized communities that many conventional health care services fail to meet.
