To provide quality health and human services to the medically underserved and low-income population in a culturally sensitive manner.
CCCHC is committed to its mission “to provide quality health and human services to the medically underserved and low-income population in a culturally sensitive manner.” CCCHC is dedicated to making a difference in the lives of the South Los Angeles, Orange, and Riverside and San Bernardino County populations by providing quality health and human services to underserved low-income residents in a culturally and linguistically appropriate manner. CCCHC’s service area, Los Angeles County Service Planning Area (SPA) 6, is populated by at-risk, vulnerable individuals who experience significant barriers to accessing health care.
Most of our patients come to us from South Los Angeles, Compton, Huntington Park, Inglewood, Lynwood, Long Beach, South Gate, Bell, Hawthorne, and Whittier. In 2018, we saw a total of 4,889 unduplicated patients, resulting in 24,474 visits. Forty-six percent live below 100 percent of the federal poverty level. High unemployment and high poverty rates compound to result in higher uninsured rates in SPA 6 than those of the county and the state. Latinos are the fastest-growing and largest ethnic group in SPA 6. Our South LA health clinic offers same day appointments for medical and dental, and can accommodate up to 15 walk-in patients with a daily average of 75 to 90 patients. We have Primary Care, Family Practice, Pediatric, OB-GYN, Chiropractic, Acupuncture, Podiatry and HIV Providers available.
CCCHC is a My Health LA (MHLA) partner with the Los Angeles County Department of Health Services, with 34 percent of our patients receiving services under our MHLA agreements. Another 10 percent have private insurance, and 12 percent self-pay. About 1 percent receives services through Healthy Families; 14 percent, managed care; 16 percent, Medicare; and 11 percent, Medi-Cal.
