Hours & Services During COVID-19 Shelter in Place

These are challenging days for everyone. Ritter Center continues to be committed to providing primary healthcare and social services for those in need in our community. As an Essential Business defined by the local Shelter in Place directive, Ritter Center is open on a limited schedule for essential services from Wednesday, March 25th.

Our schedule is as follows:
Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Friday:
9am-12pm and 1pm-3pm
We are closed on Thursdays.

Please wear a mask onsite. Call to schedule Covid-19 vaccination and testing appointments on 415-457-8182.

We sincerely apologize for not being able to meet the needs of every resident at this time but are working hard to expand our efforts as we know many have been financially devastated by COVID-19.
