Celebrating Life Community Health Center

What Celebrating Life Community Health Center does

Celebrating Life Community Health Center (CLCHC) is a Federally Qualified Health Center (FQHC) headquartered in Mission Viejo, California, operating 11 physical clinic locations across five Orange County cities — Mission Viejo, Lake Forest, Irvine, Costa Mesa, and Santa Ana. Founded in December 2018 by CEO Sergey Sergeyev in memory of his daughter Kristina Sergeyeva, the organization transitioned from a private family practice into a licensed community health center serving underserved, Medi-Cal, and uninsured populations. CLCHC reported 37 employees as of the input snapshot and operates under a community-based board governance structure typical of FQHC nonprofits.

The center delivers integrated primary care, pediatric, dental, behavioral health, women's health, and social services under a wraparound care model. Specialized programs include Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT) for substance use disorder, Naloxone distribution for opioid overdose prevention, suicide prevention services delivered in partnership with the Adam Raine Foundation, and a Street Medicine Mobile Health Clinic serving homeless populations at shelters and street locations in Costa Mesa. Technology infrastructure is conventional third-party healthcare SaaS: FollowMyHealth for the 24/7 patient portal and Phreesia for online self-scheduling and payment processing. The organization operates extended hours (weekdays until 9 PM, Saturdays until 6 PM) to accommodate working families.

Revenue is generated primarily through FQHC federal reimbursement and Medicaid/Medi-Cal encounter-based payments, supplemented by commercial insurance billing and a sliding-scale fee program for uninsured patients. CalOptima Health provides targeted grant funding for specific programs including the Street Medicine initiative and cancer screening expansion, while donations are accepted through a GivingFuel portal. Growth since 2023 has been driven by a combination of organic clinic openings and the July 2023 acquisition of Sano Clinic's Santa Ana and Costa Mesa locations.
