Forever Healing: Centennial celebration caps San José Clinic’s 100th year HOUSTON — San José Clinic (SJC) hosted its Forever Healing: Centennial Celebration event and raised over $1.03 million to recognize the history, collaborations and partnerships that have helped the clinic endeavor for 100 years of healing underserved and uninsured citizens.
