From Black Lives Matter to LGBTQ Workplace Protection, San Francisco Community Health Center Remains Rooted In Social Justice
As we celebrate the US Supreme Court’s landmark ruling banning workplace discrimination based on sexual orientation and gender identity, we at San Francisco Community Health Center understand that, until all forms of injustice are abolished, this victory remains but a partial one.
The events of recent weeks have exposed like never before the systemic racism ever-present in our core institutions. Our health care systems are not immune, as systemic racism has led to inadequate access to quality care and poorer health outcomes among Black Americans.
Since its inception over 30 years ago, San Francisco Community Health Center has evolved into what we are today – a people of color, LGBTQ, and homeless focused community health center dedicated to providing quality care to anyone in need, regardless of race, color, age, nationality, income, insurance, sexual orientation, gender identity, or any other status. And San Francisco Community Health Center will never stop fighting until health care is equally accessible and fully responsive to our Black and African American communities.
We stand in solidarity with the Black Lives Matter movement and are committed to ending systemic racism.
