South Central Family Health Center is a community-based health care provider in Los Angeles dedicated to delivering comprehensive primary care and related education services to residents of South Los Angeles and Southeast Los Angeles County. Founded to address healthcare disparities, it emphasizes linguistically appropriate care for geographically and economically disadvantaged populations and has held Federally Qualified Health Center status since 2002, meeting federal standards for service quality and reporting. The organization has expanded beyond its original site with additional locations in Huntington Park and Cudahy and operates school-based health centers at Jefferson High School in Los Angeles and at the Elizabeth Learning Center in Cudahy. Its leadership emphasizes a long-standing role as a community clinic supported by clinicians, administrators, and a board working together to serve patients. SCFHC's services target individuals and families who are underserved or uninsured, seeking to provide high-quality primary care and health education to improve health outcomes. In 2021 the center announced a partnership with Covered California and consulates of Mexico and several Central American countries to expand access to coverage and care.
