Winter Newsletter: Fifty Years and Counting
In October 18, 2018 Mission Neighborhood Health Center celebrated its 50thanniversary with the community, its employees, its Board and its supporters with a festive party at the Gray Area Grand Theater in San Francisco’s Mission District. The theme of the night was “Healing with Love/Bienestar con Amor”. The celebration included musical entertainment, visits from Supervisor Ronen and Supervisor Safai, delicious food and dancing!
The anniversary marks a half-century legacy of providing health care with a heart. Mission Neighborhood Health Center (MNHC) was founded as a health center in the late 1960’s to respond to the healthcare needs of low-income families in the Mission neighborhood in San Francisco and has grown to become an integral part of the community. From the humble beginnings of delivering care in a trailer in the parking lot at our Shotwell Street site for $1 per visit, each year, MNHC serves nearly 13,000 patients at its three sites in the Mission and Excelsior neighborhoods of San Francisco.
