Central City Community Health Center

What Central City Community Health Center does

Central City Community Health Center, Inc. (CCCHC) is a 501(c)(3) non-profit Federally Qualified Health Center founded on July 26, 1994 in South Los Angeles to deliver primary medical, dental, behavioral health, and supportive services to low-income and medically underserved populations living below 200% of the Federal Poverty Level. The organization operates a Patient-Centered Medical Home model across 15 fixed community health centers and 5 mobile clinics covering Los Angeles, Orange, Riverside, and San Bernardino counties, with specialty programs in Healthcare for the Homeless (since 2003), Migrant Seasonal Agricultural Worker services (since 2010), and a Residential Care Program serving 600+ facilities for individuals with severe and persistent mental illness. Services span primary care, pediatrics, women's health and maternity, dental, behavioral health and psychiatry, medication-assisted treatment (MAT), acupuncture, chiropractic, and Hepatitis C treatment.

CCCHC's underlying technology platform is eClinicalWorks (eCW Cloud) with the Healow patient portal and electronic prescribing, supporting online bill payment, patient scheduling, prescription routing to pharmacy partners (Walgreens, CVS, Walmart, Liberty Dental, Denti-Cal, Delta Dental), and integration with the federal 340B Drug Pricing Program that enables medication acquisition at approximately 51% below retail pricing. The organization holds FTCA deemed status under 42 USC 233(g)-(n) as a Section-330 grantee and operates a State Department of Health Care Services license (e.g., License #190806AN) for substance use disorder programming.

CCCHC's revenue model is a hybrid of (i) Section 330 federal grant funding from HRSA covering Community Health, Migrant Health, and Healthcare for the Homeless streams; (ii) patient services revenue from Medi-Cal, Medicare, Covered California, My Health LA, and Healthy Way LA reimbursements; (iii) sliding-fee-scale patient payments based on household income and family size; (iv) 340B pharmacy program economics; and (v) prescription assistance program dispensing fees. Distribution is community-led via 15 fixed clinics, 5 mobile units, 14 shelter and group home outreach sites, and on-site insurance enrollment assistance; the go-to-market motion relies on community events, health fairs, Spanish-language media partnerships (Univision/Telemundo), and word-of-mouth referrals rather than paid acquisition.
