The organization’s communications director, Marvin Stockwell, said the rebrand – which includes a new logo that resembles a fingerprint with a heart at the center and the tagline “Care for one another” – is meant to reflect that the nonprofit has outgrown the image many people used to have of it being “a little clinic on the corner.”
