Sunday Streets Initiative

Mayor Gavin Newsom held a press conference at AT&T Park to unveil his new Sunday Streets Initiative, which will create a route for local families, youth and adults to walk, jog, and bike. This Streets Initiative, lead sponsored by CPMC, will open a stretch of roadway connecting the Bayview District to Chinatown along the city’s waterfront to connect neighborhood and promote healthy exercise. “Sunday Streets represents our city’s next innovative step toward a healthier community,” said Mayor Newsom. “As we combat the health epidemic of youth and adult obesity, activating our residents is critical.” CPMC is proud to sponsor this free family activity which will run from 9am-1pm on two Sundays (August 31st and September 14th) this summer.

1 in 10: Hepatitis B in the API/Chinese Community | Richmond | July 27th

Hepatitis B is prevalent in 1 out of every 10 API/Chinese in San Francisco. In partnership with DPH and the HepBFree Campaign, CPMC is focusing its efforts on the Richmond District and its residents. After the extremely successful and effective Hep B screening in Chinatown, we hope to produce the same results for this community.

The event will take place at Tong Palace Seafood Restaurant, 2nd Floor (933 Clement between 10th and 11th Ave.) on Sunday, July 27th from 12pm-2pm. Stop by for free lunch, Hep B screenings, and a wealth of helpful resources. Cantonese translation will be provided.
