Mayor Edwin M. Lee attends HealthRight 360 groundbreaking; nonprofit partners and donors highlighted
Summary
Mayor Edwin M. Lee joined HealthRight 360 board chair Tricia Walsh at a March 5 groundbreaking for the nonprofit's new building, praised partnerships with UCSF and Kaiser Permanente, and said the site will be an 'anchor of health delivery' tied to navigation and recovery services.
A separate SFGTV-recorded groundbreaking ceremony on March 5, 2015, marked the future home of HealthRight 360 and featured remarks from Tricia Walsh, board chair, and Mayor Edwin M. Lee.
Tricia Walsh opened the ceremony, outlined the program and invited attendees to tour the building's fifth floor; she identified the project as a consolidation of historically serving entities and thanked trustees and funders.
Mayor Edwin M. Lee said the new facility will help anchor health delivery in the neighborhood and stressed the city's priority to use partnerships and development to support nonprofits. He cited donors and partners including UCSF, Kaiser Permanente and the city's Department of Public Health and said the project links with other city efforts, including a nearby navigation center intended to help people experiencing homelessness access services.
Lee also noted HealthRight 360's role as a fiscal sponsor for a street violence intervention program and thanked contractors, naming Dinwiddie, and other local partners. He encouraged a tour of the fifth floor and expressed eagerness for a future ribbon-cutting once construction and tenant fit‑out are complete.
The event as recorded did not include a schedule for the building's opening or a detailed funding breakdown; farther procedural or permitting steps were not discussed in the recorded remarks.
