Primary care, pediatrics, dental and behavioral health care

As a part of the safety net of community clinics in Los Angeles County, HCHC has 50 years of experience providing healthcare, behavioral health and dental care to low-income, indigent and uninsured individuals and families who reside in the Los Angeles Harbor area. HCHC serves the cities of San Pedro, Wilmington, Carson, Long Beach and surrounding communities. This service area has approximately 220,000 individuals, of which 54% live below 200% FPL. 85% of HCHC’s patients live in households at or below 200% FPL or $51,500 for a family of four; 24.7% are uninsured; and 70% have Medi-Cal. The majority of patients are Latino (63.8%), White (14.8%) and African American (7.1%); 32% are male and 49% are female. In 2019, HCHC served 6,465 unique patients with 24,952 visits; 1,276 (19.7%) patients were children ages 0-17. The target population for HCHC’s Pediatric Mental Health program is children under the age of 18.

Population(s) Served

Residents in our region have few resources for care. Our service area encompasses five federally designated Medically Underserved Areas, indicating there is a shortage of primary care health services in our region. Many in our service area are also at high risk for life-threatening illness (often as a result of lifestyle factors resulting from lack of health knowledge), and/or are unaware of their risk factors/health status. Without the services provided by HCHC, many of our patients would have no regular or dependable source of primary care.

Population(s) Served
Adults

Many local children in our service area also have significant medical needs. For example, the prevalence of asthma is high among the children we serve. While approximately 7.4 percent of children in Los Angeles County have been diagnosed with asthma, more than double (16 percent) of all HCHC pediatric patients are treated for the condition. Most have suffered acute attacks, likely triggered by the air pollution associated with the nearby ports, truck depots and oil refineries.

Population(s) Served
Children and youth
Economically disadvantaged people

People with diseases and illnesses

The County of Los Angeles Department of Public Health has classified HCHC’s service area as a “dental desert” with one FTE dentist per 1,533 residents, compared to county and state ratios of 1,287 and 1,291 per one FTE dentist. More than one-fifth of the children living in our service area have never been to a dentist. In response to the high community need and extreme lack of available and affordable dental care for low-income families in the service area, HCHC offers dental services at our Pacific Avenue Health Center.

Population(s) Served

HCHC’s service area encompasses low-income communities of color with high prevalence of anxiety, depression, serious mental health conditions, binge drinking, opioid and other substance misuse, and chronic health conditions. There is also a high rate of residents who identify behavioral health care as a need, yet are not receiving it. A high percentage of our patients suffer from co-occurring chronic diseases and behavioral health challenges; in 2019, 32 percent of our patients suffered from at least one chronic disease and/or mental health disorder.

Charting impact

Four powerful questions that require reflection about what really matters - results.

Harbor Community Clinic (HCC) is a Health Center Program award recipient, Federally Qualified Health Center (FQHC) providing primary health care services to impoverished residents in Medically Underserved Areas (MUAs) within the San Pedro, Wilmington, and Long Beach neighborhoods. HCC serves the families and residents that live adjacent to the most active shipping port of the country, the Port of Los Angeles. HCC was established as the Harbor Free Clinic in 1970.

By providing primary care, behavioral health, pediatric care to over 7,000 patients annually and providing over 27,000 visits.

Board approved policies and procedures have been developed for recruiting, retaining and training key management staff and health care providers. The plan outlines competitive salary ranges, provides for a competitive benefit package, and provides details about the recruitment process based on each position.

According to the Uniform Data System (UDS), Community Health Centers in HCC's proposed service area served 26,241 patients in 2014, corresponding to 21.4 percent of the target population (those at or below 200 percent FPL). Therefore, 78.6 percent of the target population (about 96,500 individuals) is without a source of primary care. HCC's target population struggles with high levels of poverty and unemployment, and low levels of educational attainment and health insurance coverage. HCC's service area experiences deep health disparities, with higher than average rates of heart disease, diabetes, cancer, stroke, asthma, mental illness, low birth weight, births to teen mothers, and tooth decay, to name a few. In response, HCC is applying for a New Access Point opportunity in order to expand its impact in the community through the addition of a third site in San Pedro and by adding dental services to its scope.
