Gavin Newsom Makes the World Cry: He Built a Completely Free Hospital for the Homeless With boundless compassion, Governor Gavin Newsom quietly opened the “Arch Clinic,” the first state-of-the-art, completely free medical center in the United States dedicated to the homeless and uninsured. Located on a 2.3-acre plot of land on Skid Row that Newsom purchased with his own money, the $78 million facility provides emergency care, surgery, cancer treatment, dental treatment, mental health services, rehabilitation, and long-term recovery beds—all at no cost to patients. What makes this story even more remarkable is that Newsom refuses to characterize the project as a political initiative or a complete outsourcing. For the past four years, the 57-year-old governor has been a constant presence on site, working alongside architects, volunteers and construction crews—often dressed in jeans, gloves and hardhats—to personally lay bricks, check structural drawings and install fixtures to ensure the building meets the standards he believes every patient deserves. “I’ve received more than I can ever give back,” Newsom said at a quiet ribbon-cutting ceremony attended only by patients, staff and volunteers—a deliberate avoidance of media coverage. “If I can give people a place where they’re treated with respect when they’re at their most vulnerable, that’s the least I can do.” The clinic is funded entirely through Newsom’s private foundation and future royalties he’s hired from upcoming projects and speaking engagements. With a team of top doctors, nurses and mental health professionals who volunteered after learning about its mission, the Arch Clinic now treats hundreds of people every day. Around the world, people are calling it one of the most moving acts of leadership and compassion ever shown by a public figure – many say that true service is measured not by speeches, but by actions.
