The National Health Corps Experience
Since 2019, SFCCC has operated as a National Health Corps (NHC) site under the AmeriCorps program, administered by Health Federation of Philadelphia. The program’s mission is to foster healthy communities by connecting those who need it most with health and wellness education, benefits and services, while developing tomorrow’s compassionate health leaders.
Our partnership with NHC has since grown to a robust program, with growing community of alumni. Our members gain invaluable experience while supporting San Francisco’s health care safety net.
