For over 70 years, The Children's Clinic, Serving Children and Their Families (TCC) has been dedicated to providing comprehensive health care in a culturally sensitive and linguistically appropriate manner to medically underserved, low-income and high-risk populations in Long Beach and the South Bay. TCC is a true medical home for the greater Long Beach area and surrounding communities providing medical care and counseling for well-child visits; acute and chronic care; adult clinic; teen services; community outreach and education; immunizations; laboratory testing; prescribed medications; linkage to community resources; and evening and Saturday hours in clinics. WHO DO THEY SERVE? TCC provides care for the most underserved in the community. To be eligible for services, a child or adult must be uninsured, underinsured or assigned to TCC via Medi-Cal. Families are asked to contribute to their care according to a sliding fee scale, yet no one is refused care because of an inability to pay. WHAT DO THEY PROVIDE? TCC provides on site primary health care services that include comprehensive and continuous care, as well as primary care and preventive health care to children and their families, including family planning services. TCC also provides immunizations against vaccine-preventable diseases, 24-hour telephone accessibility to physicians and emergency services, well-child services, office lab tests and pharmaceutical services, as appropriate. TCC provides access to health education and promotion; chronic disease management for obesity, depression, asthma and diabetes; and on site social workers to provide mental health support for health and social services, give referrals to substance abuse services, and give referrals that enable patients to access services such as outreach, transportation and interpretive services.
