History
Our Los Angeles Roots -Family Health Care Centers of Greater Los Angeles has been making an impact on Southern California communities since 1925, when the organization opened its doors as The Mother's Clinic in Los Angeles' historic Bradbury Building. The Mother's Clinic was open to all in need of services, and no applicant was ever refused treatment because she could not afford to pay. It was a safe haven where women could go to receive compassionate, supportive medical attention. Today - We provide comprehensive primary care for men, women, adolescents, and children living in the South East Los Angeles region. Our clinics operate as non-profit community health centers with a goal to provide high quality, coordinated, and complete primary care to uninsured and indigent residents of greater Los Angeles. We operate 5 clinics, the Bell Gardens Family Medical Center, Hawaiian Gardens Health Center. Downey Family Medical Center, Maywood Family Medical Center, & the School Based Hlth. Ctr.
