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’s Covid-19 Equity and What Works Showcase.
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 resipiratory virus transmission and improve lives and livelihoods in communities most impacted by these diseases due to health disparities through low-barrier, community-based vaccination and test, respond, and treatment services.
The Issue
COVID-19 and respiratory viruses disproportionately effect communities of color across the nation
In San Francisco at the onset of the pandemic, LatinX members made up roughly 50% of COVID-19 cases, despite being 15% of the population due to longstanding health inequities.
Low-barrier access to vaccination, testing, treatment and care are instrumental in curbing the pandemic
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 test, response and treatment services that inform policy changes to address real-life conditions faced by vulnerable populations.
We are also conducting surveillance for new COVID variants to inform public health policy in our community.
Our Impact
Since April 2020, we have provided COVID test, response, and treatment services to over 106,000 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 76,000 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 earliear phase of the pandemic.
Help us combat COVID-19 and respiratory viruses in our community with our current rapid test-and-respond, treatment, and vaccine initiatives.
Since February 2021, we have been providing free vaccinations, treatment, and rapid test and response services for COVID and viral respiratory diseases to members of the Mission District community of San Francisco.
Please note: The testing site may close early if our daily capacity is reached due to high demand. Vaccine site entrance is on 24th & Capp St. Testing site entrance is at 24th & Lilac St.
Participants will receive their results by the end of the day. Learn more here.
