Staff and Fruitvale community members took part in a healing circle led staff from our Cultura y Bienestar program. The circle gave us all an opportunity to process and be cleansed of negative energy from the tragedies that had befallen us as a community as well as any personal traumas.

La Clínica officially welcomed our newest clinical site into our growing family, La Clínica Julian R. Davis Pediatrics. Located in a converted two-story house at 5461 Foothill Boulevard, the addition of the Davis Pediatrics site is helping La Clínica expand its presence in East Oakland!

One of the founders of our Pediatrics program, Doctor Jim Eitel, will be retiring this year. After forty years of working with La Clínica, Dr. Jim has a unique perspective on La Clínica’s history and evolution, so we sat down with him to hear the stories that only he could tell us.

In response to identified community need, La Clínica has established a Medical-Legal Partnership with East Bay Community Law Center with the purpose of identifying and addressing harmful social determinants of health through collaboration with onsite legal services.
