Soon a new clinic was being built in South Seattle with Seattle Children's having the audacity to name it after Odessa Brown without taking care of the Yesler clinic properly. /6

It was a trailblazer clinic and is known widely in the community for the impact that it had on Black families. Over time, ownership of this community clinic went to Seattle Children’s and the maintenance of the building and the care of the clients began to deteriorate. /5

The history of the Odessa Brown clinic goes back to the 1970’s as a primary institution of healthcare for the Black community in the Central District. With ties to the work of the Black Panther Party, many community members organized to make this clinic a community space. /4

Once again, Seattle Children’s Hospital is showing their true colors. On June 18th, Seattle Children’s deemed Odessa Brown Clinic “uninhabitable” after years of the staff uplifting key maintenance needs and one year after Dr. Ben Danielson came forward allegations of racism. /3
