About this clinic

The Mabuhay Health Center (MHC) is a University of California, San Francisco (UCSF) student-run free community health clinic targeting underserved Filipino-American residents of San Francisco’s South of Market (SoMa) District. MHC started in 2009 through the efforts of founder Dr. Alvin Teodoro and a committee of community members, students from Bay Area universities, and health professional students from UCSF Schools of Medicine, Pharmacy, Dentistry and Nursing. Furthermore, MHC holds partnerships with the Bayanihan Community Center (BCC), Bessie Carmichael School/Filipino Education Center K-8 (BCE), and most recently, Canon Kip Senior Center. MHC Day was proclaimed on December 5th, 2009 by the City of San Francisco and is celebrated by the SoMa community each year. Every second Saturday of the month at Canon Kip Senior Center, MHC provides health coaching, health education to youth, health screening, history and physicals, medication therapy management, behavioral health services, and referrals to SoMa residents. The clinic also fosters an environment where preceptors, students, community members, and patients can teach and learn from each other about providing culturally sensitive, accessible, and high-quality health care. Previously, with the generous sponsorship of the Gilead Foundation, MHC has provided Hepatitis B and HIV screenings as well as Hepatitis B vaccinations for our patients. Currently, we have reached over 500 patients, been awarded Top 40 under 40 2010 Readers Choice Award by 7x7 Magazine, and established strong partnerships across San Francisco districts and in San Mateo County. In 2011, MHC further expanded its services to SoMa’s youth by collaborating with Bessie Carmichael School/Filipino Education Center K-8. These services include workshops and health events with a special emphasis on health education. Additionally, MHC links patients to valuable services and resources around San Francisco.

Common Questions About Free and Low-Cost Clinics

General guidance for visitors. It is not medical advice and it does not describe Mabuhay Health Center's current policy — call the clinic to confirm anything below.

Is this clinic actually free?
Often not entirely. "Free clinic" usually means one of three things: a volunteer clinic with no charge, a community health center with a sliding fee scale based on household size and income, or a clinic that charges a small flat visit fee. A sliding scale can still leave a bill. Ask what the lowest tier costs before you book.
What if I have no income at all?
Most sliding-scale programs have a lowest tier for people with no income, and many accept a signed self-declaration when you have no pay stubs to show. Ask for the clinic's discount program by name and ask what proof they take. Being told "bring proof of income" does not mean you are turned away for having none.
What should I bring to a first visit?
Usually a photo ID, something showing your address, proof of income or a self-declaration, your insurance or Medicaid card if you have one, and a written list of your current medications and doses. Call ahead — requirements vary, and arriving without the right paperwork is the most common reason a first visit gets rescheduled.
Do I need insurance, or immigration documents?
Federally funded health centers serve patients regardless of insurance status and do not require proof of citizenship to provide care. Volunteer and charitable clinics set their own rules. If it matters to you, ask before your visit what they require and what they record.
Is dental care included?
Usually not, and this is the single most common disappointment. Dental is frequently a separate program with its own eligibility, its own waiting list, and a narrower service list — extractions and urgent pain may be covered while fillings, crowns, root canals, and dentures are not. Confirm that dental is offered at this specific location before travelling.
Can I get a prescription refilled here?
Most clinics require an appointment before they will refill anything, and a first appointment can be weeks out. If you are close to running out of a medication you cannot safely stop, say so when you call — say the medication name and how many days you have left. Ask your pharmacy at the same time; pharmacists can sometimes authorise a short emergency supply.
What if I need care today?
This directory cannot arrange care or pass a message to a clinic. For a medical emergency call 911. For a mental health or suicidal crisis call or text 988 (Suicide & Crisis Lifeline). For something urgent but not an emergency, an urgent care clinic or a hospital emergency department must evaluate you regardless of ability to pay.
