State of California Shuts Down AIM

California Department of Public Health officials have notified the San Fernando-based health clinic that serves the porn industry that its application to operate as a community clinic has been denied, according to department officials.

Clinic officials had applied for a license in June after authorities told them they needed one to continue operating, said Al Lundeen, a department spokesman. He said the clinic was notified of the state’s decision Tuesday.

“Our staff will be in contact to discuss [the] next steps,” said Lundeen, who said as of Wednesday the clinic remained open.
