Westbrook Plaza
In January 2009, South of Market Health Center celebrated the beginning of construction of our new 20,000 square foot health center at Westbrook Plaza, and we’re just a few months away from completion.
Located on 7th Street between Howard and Folsom, Westbrook Plaza is a joint development with Mercy Housing California (MHC) and will open in the fall of 2010. It will include a state-of-the-art medical center and 49 units of affordable family housing.
Just two blocks away from our Minna Street clinic, Westbrook Plaza will become our main site, expanding our ability to serve twice as many patients as we do today. This will allow us to respond to the urgent need and demand for more primary and family health services in this growing region of San Francisco. SMHC will become a destination of choice for patients with complex and difficult to diagnose disorders from the South of Market and Tenderloin communities.
Our new medical facility will have 16 spacious examination rooms, including special needs exam rooms to accommodate the physically challenged and 5 dental operatories to accommodate new services and a larger and ever growing demand for more dental services.
In detail, SMHC will provide the following services at its new Westbrook Plaza site:
- a full-service patient and community pharmacy
- behavioral health integration services
- medical and social case-management
- women and children services
- health education
- adult medicine
- urgent care
- dental care
We look forward to moving into Westbrook Plaza this fall and invite you to visit our new facility as soon as it opens. We continue to invite new partners and donors to help us with completing this magnificent project. If you would like to get involved, make a contribution, or receive additional information, please contact Marilyn Griffin at 415.436.0111 or marilyn.griffin@smhcsf.org.
