What Is Sexual Harassment in Alhambra

Sexual harassment in Alhambra happens in the same places you go every day: patient rooms and nursing units at Alhambra Hospital Medical Center (100 South Raymond Avenue - 144-bed acute care hospital, part of the AHMC Healthcare system); classrooms and offices across Alhambra Unified School District (1515 West Mission Road - serves Alhambra, Monterey Park, Rosemead, and San Gabriel); the Costco Wholesale warehouse at 2207 West Commonwealth Avenue; restaurants along Main Street and Valley Boulevard (one of the densest restaurant clusters in the San Gabriel Valley); LA County DPSS, DCFS, and Public Health offices serving the San Gabriel Valley; the Alhambra Courthouse at 150 West Commonwealth Avenue; and City of Alhambra offices at 111 South First Street. The most common Alhambra pattern is unwanted touching, comments, or pressure from a supervisor, coworker, patient, or customer, followed by retaliation when the worker reports it.
