San Jose: New health care clinic for African-Americans opens Monday [MercuryNews.com]

 

Given the growing awareness of the connection between ACEs and physical health, the opening of this new center today, May 8, 2017, is truly great news! 

When it opens its doors on Monday, the Roots Community Health Center on The Alameda will be the first primary care service provider in the South Bay aimed at improving the health and well-being of African-Americans.

Supporters say it couldn’t happen soon enough.

Santa Clara County is home to about 55,000 African-Americans, but the black community here — like African-American communities nationwide — continues to face serious health disparities compared with other racial and ethnic groups.
