Great News! New Gen will remain open through June 2017! We are delighted to tell you that the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF) and the Department of Public Health have committed to continue supporting New Gen for another year, which means we will be open to provide you with reproductive health care through June 2017. Since announcing our closure in March, we have seen an outpouring of community support for our clinic. Thank you for making your voices heard. As a... result, the university, in consultation with the Health Department, has identified funds from a variety of programs that will keep us open long enough to develop a solid transition plan and explore the possibility for continued operations. UCSF and the Health Department will form working groups that include community members to determine next steps for our clinic’s services and to identify available resources throughout the San Francisco health system and philanthropic community. It is truly our honor to work with the community of San Francisco. We are grateful for the opportunity to develop a solid transition plan and hopeful that we can find a long-term solution to continue offering you care. We will be open at least through June 2017.
