"The senior center, operated by the nonprofit North East Medical Services, will take over the existing two-story, 11,093-square-foot building at 25th Avenue and Noriega Street, according to a planning application approved in January. The new facility will serve as a primary care clinic for seniors, featuring a 1,620-square-foot activity room and 959-square-foot dining area - much like a sister location in Chinatown, which provides health care and community activities for seniors."
"Noriega Street is an ideal location for this kind of facility: The road is wide enough for convenient van drop-offs and the 7-Haight/Noriega line goes right through it. Along the corridor, Chinese seniors shop at Asian produce markets with their trolleys, and many pick up medications at a Chinese pharmacy. While the PACE center will be focused on senior services, North East Medical Services already operates three other clinics offering generic health care on Noriega Street, just three blocks east, at 21st and 22nd avenues."
North East Medical Services will convert the former Walgreens at 1750 Noriega St. into a two-story, 11,093-square-foot senior center and PACE primary care clinic. The facility will include a 1,620-square-foot activity room and a 959-square-foot dining area and will provide transportation for seniors from their homes to the center for medical appointments, socialization and activities. Construction is expected to cost $2.35 million. The Walgreens closed last February after operating since 1968. This will be the nonprofit's third PACE center, joining locations in Chinatown (opened 2021) and San Jose (2025). No opening date has been announced.
