About

The new location of Urgent Care and Open Access Clinic is named in honor of Maria X Martinez. Maria was serving as the SF DPH director of Whole Person Care before she passed away from illness in July 2020. In partnership with other DPH leadership focused on improving care coordination for people experiencing homelessness and other vulnerable San Franciscans with complex health needs, Ms. Martinez initially proposed the idea to create a health resource center co-located with related services.

A tireless advocate and public servant, Maria devoted her career to developing programs to improve healthcare for people experiencing homelessness. The Health Resource Center was envisioned as a clinical hub for Whole Person Integrated Care. Here, co-located cross-departmental teams can work side-by-side to create low barrier access for people experiencing homelessness who are need health care, assistance with enrollment in benefits and help exploring housing options. Through an iterative human-centered design process involving members of the community and staff from the Department of Public Health, Department of Homelessness and Supportive Housing and Mayor’s Office of Housing and Community Development, this state-of-the-art resource center was designed.
