With over 50 years of service, our goal is to improve the health of the community we serve by creating easier access to quality clinical, preventative, and specialty healthcare services. WHCC is deemed by the Bureau of Primary Health Care of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services to be a federal employee for purposes of medical malpractice claims and, as such, qualified for protection under the Federal Tort Claims Act.
We’re proud of our history that spans over five decades as a leader in the community health center movement. From a volunteer-driven clinic that was birthed out of the Watts riots in 1965 to serving those most in need in Los Angeles County, we’ve grown to become a federally recognized and award-winning, health care institution.
