Our Healthy Food Champions program is rooted in the powerful idea that food is deeply cultural, communal, and capable of empowering communities to take greater control of their lives.

Through hands-on learning and welcoming spaces, Healthy Food Champions invests in community leadership and helps participants make the most of the fresh, healthy ingredients they receive through our food pantries and distribution partners, including the Alameda County Community Food Bank. The program hosts interactive cooking demonstrations that show how seasonal produce and pantry staples can be transformed into simple and nourishing meals.

On May 13, La Clínica welcomed more than 50 guests at the grand opening of its newest site, La Clínica at 95th Avenue. Guests heard remarks from elected officials, La Clínica supporters and staff, as well as participated on tours of the new clinic.

My mom discovered the Fruitvale clinic when I was a young child; we lived two blocks away. It was smaller then, but I got both my pediatric care and dental treatment there and at San Antonio. I remember having a broken tooth fixed and getting to pick a toy from a treasure box when the procedure was done. Growing up, my focus was to be a nurse because of what I saw at La Clínica.

On October 16, 2022, La Clínica celebrated the careers of Dr. Susan Sykes, Dr. Kam Wong, and Susana Praver, PA-C. We thank Dr. Susan Sykes, Dr. Kam Wong, and Susana Praver, PA-C for their many years of service to our patients and mission. Congratulations on retirement!
