SF DPH Confirms 3 Clinic Closures August 28 — South East Mission Geriatrics + 2 Youth Clinics; April 7 Reassignment Notices

Update to previously tracked SF DPH cuts: April 7 staff reassignment notices delivered for 3 confirmed clinic closures effective August 28, 2026 — South East Mission Geriatrics Clinic (the only free SF facility serving low-income seniors 60+, 200 patients/year including immigrant trauma survivors and homeless seniors), Cole Street Youth Clinic (Haight-Ashbury, 257-355 patients/year), and Larkin Street Youth Clinic (Tenderloin, similar volume). DPH characterizes as 'resource realignment'; community + SEIU 1021 dispute. Mayor Lurie committed to eliminating 500 total positions; second wave expected with budget release end of May/early June 2026. Geriatric clinic closure especially material — no peer FQHC currently serves homeless seniors at scale in SF.
