St. James Infirmary, a vital resource for sex workers in San Francisco, has closed its doors as of December 29, 2023, after nearly 25 years of service. Founded by activists and rooted in reproductive justice, the organization provided compassionate, trauma-informed medical and mental health care, alongside essential harm reduction programs for marginalized communities.

While the closure marks a significant loss, community partners like Lyon-Martin Community Health Services, TGI Justice Project, and San Francisco Community Health Clinic will continue key programs and support for transgender, non-binary, gender non-conforming, and intersex individuals, ensuring that the spirit of St. James Infirmary lives on. The legacy of advocacy and support for sex workers and other vulnerable populations remains a priority as these organizations step in to carry forward the important work initiated by SJI.
