Remembering Jessica Galloway - Beloved Clinician and Board Member 

It is with deep sadness that we share the passing of our beloved board member and clinician, Jessica Galloway, who left us peacefully on September 14th, 2025. Jessica’s bright spirit, kind soul, and unwavering compassion brought joy to everyone who knew her. Her loss leaves a profound hole in so many hearts.

The Free Clinic was honored to be a part of Jessica’s journey. She first came to us as a RN volunteer; she then enrolled in the Family Nurse Practitioner program at UCSF and completed her clinical training here at the San Francisco Free clinic. After graduation, Jessica returned to volunteer, quickly becoming a trusted and much-loved member of our clinical team. Patients and staff alike were lifted by her warmth, generosity, and skill. In time, she extended her service further by joining our Board of Directors, where her steady wisdom and quiet strength shaped and supported our mission in lasting ways.

Jessica loved the Clinic and gave her whole self to it—whether caring for patients, mentoring colleagues, or supporting us behind the scenes. We will remember her not only as a friend and colleague, but as family.

We are deeply grateful for Jessica’s life, her service, and the countless ways she strengthened our community. Please keep her family in your thoughts during this difficult time.

Our Belief

We believe that no one should suffer or die prematurely because they cannot get medical care. Unfortunately, millions who lack health insurance in America still do.

The San Francisco Free Clinic mourns the pain of all who suffer. The clinic was founded to care for people with no health insurance who cannot find help elsewhere in a system fraught with racial disparity. We will continue this work, holding in our hearts the belief that every human is of one species and equal to every other.
