History
St. John’s is an independent 501(c)(3) community health center. We serve patients of all ages through a network of 22 Federally Qualified Health Centers (FQHC), including three mobiles and six school-based clinics spanning the breadth of East, Central, and South Los Angeles and Compton. The central goal of St. John’s is to address the unmet needs of low-income, uninsured, and underinsured residents of the service area by providing access to linguistically and culturally appropriate primary medical, dental, behavioral health, and enabling services, regardless of ability to pay.
Our work goes far beyond the traditional health care model to embrace the broader concept of well-being. In addition to providing a broad array of primary care services, we place a high priority on developing supportive services to address families’ educational, socio-economic, and behavioral health needs. This is accomplished through outreach, health education, child development and literacy education, case management, benefit enrollment, and behavioral health assessments. We have and continue to establish strong partnerships with health, educational, social service, and development agencies to deliver a wide range of services that are responsive to community needs.
