Central to its mission, St. Mary's Medical Center provides health care and advocacy for the poor through the Sr. Mary Philippa Health Center. This clinic offers a coordinated program of comprehensive primary and specialty health services free of charge or at a reduced rate to thousands of uninsured and underserved members of the San Francisco community.
