ROOTS COMMUNITY HEALTH CENTER
Uplifting those impacted by systemic inequities & poverty through medical and behavioral care, navigation, workforce enterprises, housing, outreach & advocacy. Healing our community from within through integrated health care, support services and empowerment. Roots provides unique and innovative blend of primary care and complementary services to build patient self-sufficiency and community empowerment. Since its inception, Roots focused on the unprecedented needs of Oakland residents and low-income communities of color. Roots’ mission is to uplift those impacted by systemic inequities and poverty by offering culturally competent, comprehensive physical and mental healthcare, health navigation, workforce enterprises, housing outreach, employment and training, nutritional assistance, wraparound services, and advocacy. While Roots is a primary care medical home for any and all patients, Roots is particularly committed to delivering comprehensive care to those who have been most marginalized and who have never engaged meaningfully in medical care.

Home | Healing Our Community From Within COVID19 RESOURCESRequest a Referral Healing Our Community From Within Join Roots Community Health in the Fight for Accurate Pulse Oximeters All Patients and health consumers are entitled to devices that are accurate and ensure good health outcomes. Recent studies including our own coauthored research have highlighted the alarming inaccuracies of pulse oximeters when used on individuals with darker skin tones. These inaccuracies can lead to critical treatment delays particularly for patients with COVID19 and contribute to the broader issue of health disparities and medical racism. Hear Our Stories The way Roots has evolved has affirmed for me that we are needed here.
