The Children's Clinic

What The Children's Clinic does

The Children's Clinic, operating as TCC Family Health, is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit Federally Qualified Health Center founded in 1939 in Long Beach, California. It delivers integrated primary, preventive, dental, behavioral health, optometry, podiatry, prenatal, and senior care to approximately 40,000 patients through ~175,000 visits annually across 14 community sites, three school-based health centers (Cesar Chavez Elementary, Hamilton Middle School, Roosevelt), and a 40-foot Mobile Medical Clinic in a 27-ZIP-code service area of 1,130,334 residents, one-third of whom are low-income. It was the first FQHC in Los Angeles County to earn Trauma-Informed Care certification from the National Council for Mental Wellbeing and operates signature programs including the Everychild Bright Beginnings Initiative (EBBI), the PEARLS Pediatric ACEs Screener, the Comprehensive Perinatal Services Program (CPSP), Healthy Families America home visiting, the Medical-Legal Partnership with LAFLA, Reach Out and Read, and the Asthma Home Visiting Program (LBACA).

The organization's underlying technology stack comprises the MemorialCare-hosted myChart patient portal for scheduling, refills, messaging, and lab results; a HIPAA-compliant telehealth platform; an on-site 340B pharmacy dispensary with contract pharmacy network; trauma-informed screening workflows (PEARLS, EBBI) embedded in routine visits; and integrated EHR through HCLA IPA and Memorial Select IPA for payer connectivity. New flagship infrastructure in 2025 includes the 18,000 sq ft Cambodia Town center co-developed with BRIDGE Housing above 88 units of affordable/senior housing, and the Healthy Aging at St. Mary joint-venture site with Dignity Health.

TCC's revenue is generated through six concurrent streams: patient service revenue via Medi-Cal (HCLA IPA, Memorial Select IPA), Medicare, Covered California, CHDP, and commercial HMO contracts; sliding-fee self-pay on a 2026 Board-approved tier tied to Federal Poverty Level (Categories A-F, $15-$65 nominal fees); the HRSA Section 330 Health Center Program federal grant; LA County DPH and First 5 LA grants; private foundation and corporate grants (Miller, Ahmanson, Parsons, Munzer, Keck, Polak, Everychild, Durfee); and individual donations/fundraising (Beach Walk, Annual Gala) processed via Blackbaud. Specific revenue figures are not publicly disclosed; the only dated funding event in the data is a $500,000 grant from LA Care Health Plan on 2023-08-23.
