Bayview Hunters Point Foundation, Free Shuttle to Health Services

·         Shuttle is funded by Metropolitan Transit. Purpose – to develop a route to assist people access medical areas. People can get off an on without describing their medical need.  ID cards have been given to youth to increase safety across gang turfs. Service is provided 10.5hrs/day M-Th.  Times and routes are adjusted to accommodate popular spots (i.e. Alice Griffith -> SFGH).  The shuttle fulfills a gap as no busses go directly from BVHP to SFGH or St Lukes.

·         Discussed purpose of South East Center.  Primary care to decrease the need of emergencies.  It does not include a trauma center

·         Shuttle policy – stop and call 911 if emergency develops.
