The Bayview Hunters Point Community in Southeast San Francisco arose historically as an outgrowth of post World War II reseach & development and shipbuilding activities at the Hunters Point Shipyard — a federal Superfund site.

On July 2, 2019 the Scientific Committee of the Hunters Point Biomonitoring Program launched the Community Advisory Board (CAB) for oversight, design and control of a community led effort to institute a screening, referral and investigational project for residents living adjacent to the Superfund site at the Hunters Point Shipyard.

The Meet & Greet occurred on Tuesday evening, July 2, 2019 at Radio Africa & Kitchen. An inspirational gathering of community leaders, environmental health and justice advocates, medical scientists, technical experts and shipyard workers came together to express a united voice in supporting the need for the nations first biomonitoring program implemented to screen residents and workers on and adjacent to a federal Superfund site.
