In April of 2020, the Latino Task Force (LTF), UCSF, UC Berkeley, and CZ Biohub joined forces to create Unidos en Salud. Their first project offered low-barrier SARS-CoV-2 testing in a Mission District Census track and measured the impact COVID-19 was having on the community.

Unidos en Salud would like to also extend a special thank you to Stacie Powers Cueller for allowing us to use Brava Theater as our headquarters during the first several years of our collaboration. Brava Theater has been instrumental in our testing, vaccination and outreach efforts and we would not be where we are today without their flexibility, tenacity, and compassion for the Mission community. Thank you Stacie and Brava theater!
