PRC

PRC PRC helps those affected by HIV/AIDS, substance use, or mental health issues realize their best selves. Their education. How others see them.

There’s more to health than just, “Are you sick or well?” True wellness goes so much deeper than that. To truly help a person, you must help them on every level, assess and address all the social factors that affect them: Their environment. How they see themselves. But, up against so much, trying to change so many things, we simply cannot do it alone. We need you there, too, fighting right alongside us. At PRC, we believe that everyone – regardless of their situation – has value and potential, and we fight tirelessly to help them realize that, by directly tackling these social factors. With your help, we help our clients realize their best selves. By helping them stabilize their housing. Develop the skills to find and keep a job. Overcome substance and mental health issues. Secure income and healthcare benefits. And, most importantly, by giving them hope, and a path to new opportunities. Together, we can shine a light on the causes that affect our clients and ensure they get the attention and respect they deserve. Because when people have the ability to realize their potential, to lead stronger and more productive lives, they add to – not take away from – the community. So help us improve our community by helping its most vulnerable members.

We’re excited to share big news: PRC has officially welcomed Dr. Deborah Hawkes as our new Chief Executive Officer!

is a nationally respected healthcare executive with nearly three decades of transformative leadership in health systems, behavioral health, and community services. Throughout her career, she has championed health equity, operational excellence, and person-centered care—values that align perfectly with PRC’s mission.

As CEO, Dr. Hawkes will guide PRC’s strategic and financial direction, complete our new five-year strategic plan, and ensure strong governance and compliance. Most importantly, she will lead efforts to deepen our impact and expand access to holistic, integrated care for San Francisco’s most vulnerable communities.

We are thrilled for the future of PRC under Dr. Hawkes’s leadership and look forward to the innovation, compassion, and impact she will bring to our work.

“Jail, the streets, psychiatric emergency services — these end up being the points of entry into the city’s mental health care treatment... Why is it that people can’t just go out and find care, if they need it?” says former PRC CEO Chuan Teng in an article published recently by SF Public Press.

A collaborative of SF behavioral health providers — which includes local organizations PRC, Progress Foundation, HealthRIGHT 360 and Conard House — has tried to analyze the city’s behavioral health system and recommend to city leaders how it could evolve to satisfy the mandates of Proposition 1.

Read more about our work to ensure our behavioral health system is proactive and adapts to the needs of our community and it's most vulnerable members.

Over the next year, San Francisco must examine and potentially redesign its system of behavioral health care, with input from the public. Some experts see this as an opportunity to improve services.

On Wednesday, we stood alongside hundreds of advocates to demand a City budget that puts people first. This is what solidarity looks like: coming together across cultural and generational communities to stand up for the providers serving working and marginalized people throughout our great city. We depend on funding in the City budget to continue building a robust workforce; to continue providing legal and emergency aid to those in need; to continue treating and housing those most vulnerable.

Stay engaged this budget season! If you believe that PRC and our nonprofit partners make the city better each day, tell your local officials and encourage your friends and family to do the same.
