LifeLong West Berkeley Breaks Ground
Lifelong Medical Care has embarked on a $13 million dollar expansion of its West Berkeley health center into a new three-story addition. The clinic operates out of a historic landmarked building at 2031 Sixth Street.
On hand to break ground on Oct 21 were supporters, friends and community officials. Dignitaries included: Marty Lynch, LifeLong Executive Director; Darryl Moore, City Council member District 2; and Mayor Tom Bates. State Assembly member Nancy Skinner made a pitch for contributions. The capital campaign has raised more than $1.5 million towards their $2.1 million goal. Everyone is invited to join the campaign team and/or give online at www.lifelongmedical.org
The mission of Lifelong is to provide quality health and social services for those with limited income or without health insurance www.lifelongmedical.org
The organization was founded in 1976 by the Gray Panthers, as a pioneering geriatric clinic. It has evolved into an innovative, nonprofit Federally Qualified Health Center for 20,000 under-served residents in Berkeley, Oakland, Marin and Contra Costa Counties.
Berkeley provides services at four locations:
Lifelong Over 60 at 3260 Sacramento
Lifelong Berkeley Primary Care at 2001 Sixth
