White House welcomes Unidos en Salud

Article by Annika Hom for Mission Local

“[Unidos en Salud] joined 15 other hyperlocal groups to share community-led health solutions at the White House.

The Unidos en Salud site, now located on 24th and Capp streets, has scaled up to become what Rojas calls a health “surveillance site.” As it was the only of its kind in the conference, it generated lots of hubbub.

“Everyone who gets tested positive gets sequenced, so we can understand what variant is happening in our community,” Rojas said. “Instead of trying to guess or waiting for the city to come out and say, ‘this is Delta [variant],’ we are informing the city.”

Our Vision

Reduce COVID and respiratory virus transmission and improve lives and livelihoods impacted by these diseases through low-barrier, community-based vaccination and test, respond, and treatment services.

Our Mission

Advancing access and effectiveness to COVID and respiratory virus test-and-response services and vaccines

With our partners, we provide free, low-barrier COVID-19 and respiratory virus vaccination and testing services.

In the early phases of the COVID-19 pandemic, we also conducted surveillance for new COVID variants to inform public health policy in our community.

Our Impact

Since April 2020, we have provided COVID testing, response, and treatment services to over 107,000 people through the United in Health/Unidos en Salud initiative in the Mission, Bayview, Sunnydale, Tenderloin, Excelsior and Visitacion Valley districts in San Francisco. In the Mission District, we have distributed over 80,000 COVID vaccinations at our 24th and Capp St. COVID vaccination site.

Our studies have directly lead to the “Right to Recover” program in San Francisco, which provided support for families affected by COVID-19 who experienced financial hardship due to isolation/quarantine during the earlier phase of the pandemic.

Since February 2021, we have been providing free vaccinations and rapid testing services for COVID and viral respiratory diseases to members of the Mission District community of San Francisco.

Site entrance is at 24th & Capp St.

Clients will receive their results by the end of the day. Learn more here.
