About Us

TCC Family Health — serving Greater Long Beach with innovative, integrated healthcare since 1939.

TCC patient TCC family

TCC Family Health (TCC), was founded in 1939 by a group of physicians and community leaders who recognized the importance of access to healthcare for all children, particularly those who are from low income families and who are at risk for health problems. Since then, TCC has grown from offering weekly well-child care to daily, full service health care with primary care services for children, adolescents and adults. TCC is known as a unique leader in the greater Long Beach community, addressing disparities in health by providing quality care for the under-served of all ages, offering them a true "medical home".

The Community We Serve

TCC's service area spans 27 ZIP codes across Greater Long Beach, Bellflower, and surrounding communities — a population of more than 1.1 million, one-third of whom live on low incomes.

History, Mission & Goals

Our Mission

TCC Family Health (TCC) is guided by our mission "to provide innovative, integrated, quality health care that will contribute to a healthy community, focusing on those in need and working with patients and the community as partners in their overall well-being."

Our Vision

Our Vision is of a community that is healthy for all.

Our Values

We view the following values through the lens of equity:

  • Excellence and innovation in service
  • Compassion
  • Collaboration
  • Education
  • Integrity
  • Respect

A Trauma-Informed Care Leader. TCC was the first health center in Los Angeles County to earn Trauma-Informed Care certification from the National Council for Mental Wellbeing (formerly the National Council for Behavioral Health). Our staff are trained to recognize the effects of trauma, respond with sensitivity, and avoid re-traumatizing patients — while helping children and families build resilience and hope.

Signature Programs — A Center of Excellence for Prenatal to Age 5

TCC goes upstream to identify trauma, toxic stress, and social needs as early as possible — and to give families the resources and skills to raise physically, socially, and emotionally healthy children.

Everychild Bright Beginnings Initiative (EBBI)

Early identification of adversity and toxic stress, with evidence-based screenings and interventions to build protective factors and resiliency for children and families.

Comprehensive Perinatal Services Program (CPSP)

Enhanced prenatal and postpartum care for Medi-Cal-eligible patients, including nutrition, psychosocial, and health-education services throughout pregnancy.

Healthy Families America Home Visiting

Nationally recognized, evidence-based home-visiting program from pregnancy through ages 3–5. Family Support Specialists provide one-on-one education and support. Funded by First 5 LA and LA County Dept. of Public Health.

Newborn Home Visitation Program

Short-term home visits for new parents facing challenges — feeding support, infant care, postpartum check-ins, and warm hand-offs to longer-term programs when needed.

PEARLS — Pediatric ACEs Screener

TCC uses the Pediatric ACEs and Related Life-events Screener for all patients to identify exposure to childhood adversity and connect children and families to appropriate care and support.

Reach Out and Read

At well-child visits, our pediatric providers give every child aged 6 months through 5 years a new, developmentally and culturally appropriate book. Learn more →

Responding to the Housing Crisis

TCC extends health and wellness services to neighbors experiencing homelessness and housing insecurity by co-locating care where people already are. Current response includes:

  • TCC at the City of Long Beach Multi-Service Center — medical, behavioral-health, and supportive services on-site at the MSC.
  • TCC at Century Villages at Cabrillo — primary-care services embedded in a veteran and unhoused housing community.
  • TCC's Mobile Medical Clinic — care delivered where patients are, in partnership with shelters and community sites.
  • TCC Family Health & Wellness — our new 18,000 sq ft center in Cambodia Town, developed as a BRIDGE Housing joint venture co-located with 88 units of affordable and senior supportive housing.

In 2025, TCC served 1,798 individuals experiencing homelessness through this coordinated response.

Our Organizational Goals

  • To Create a Medical Home For Children, Adolescents and Adults including those with Special Health Care Needs and Chronic Diseases.
  • To Provide Direct Health Services in a Culturally and Linguistically Appropriate Manner for Children and Their Families in Southern California Communities.
  • To Respond To Community – Identified Physical, Behavioral Health and Social Needs of Children and Families.
  • To Partner with Parents, Patients and the Community to Develop and Provide Health Education and Promotion.
  • To Educate Health Professionals in Training in the Medical Care of Children and Families in a Diverse Community.
  • To Educate and Advocate for Health Care Needs of Children and Families.
  • To Decrease Health Disparities as Delineated in Healthy People 2020.

Our 2026–2028 Priorities

Six areas we are focused on over the next three years — what they mean for the patients and neighborhoods we serve.

1. Quality Care

Safe, respectful, evidence-based care that helps every patient reach their best health.

2. Access & Experience

Shorter waits, easier scheduling, and a warm experience every time you walk in.

3. Community Health

Reach families outside the clinic walls — at schools, farmers' markets, and community events — so care meets people where they are.

4. Our People

Recruit, train, and retain the staff that make TCC feel like home — and listen to what they need to thrive.

5. Financial Strength

Diverse funding sources and disciplined stewardship so we can keep serving Long Beach for decades.

6. Facilities & Technology

Modern clinics and tools that let our teams spend more time with patients and less time on paperwork.

Leadership

TCC's care is delivered by a multi-disciplinary team of MDs, DOs, Nurse Practitioners, Licensed Clinical Social Workers (LCSWs), Licensed Marriage and Family Therapists (LMFTs), Doctors of Psychology (PsyDs), Dentists (DDSs), public-health professionals (MPHs), community health workers, and health educators — tailored to the specific needs of each patient and family.

4-Hour Trauma Informed Care Training

  • Understand how protective factors and resiliency can buffer the effects of adversity and toxic stress.
  • Know how those working with children and families can take a more trauma informed approach.
  • Work together as a community to identify trauma and toxic stress early and buffer the lifelong effects.

About EBBI

The Everychild Bright Beginnings Initiative (EBBI) is a program designed to address the effects of toxic stress and chronic exposure to violence in infants, toddlers, and pregnant mothers. EBBI is one of the first ever projects to embed toxic stress screenings into routine pre-natal and pediatric medical check-ups. Sponsored by the Everychild Foundation.

Reach Out and Read

What is Reach Out and Read?

Reach Out and Read is a national pediatric early literacy program that prepares America's youngest children to succeed in school by partnering with doctors to prescribe books and encourage families to read together. Doctors and nurses are trained to advise parents about the importance of reading aloud and to give new books to children at pediatric well child visits from 6 months through 5 years of age, with a special focus on children growing up in poverty and medically underserved areas.

The Reach Out and Read Model

  • Educate parents. In the exam room at each of our pediatric clinics, the pediatrician or nurse practitioner encourages parents to read aloud to their young children and offers age-appropriate tips.
  • Gift children with free books. At well-child visits, the pediatrician or nurse practitioner gives every child 6 months through 5 years of age a new, developmentally and culturally-appropriate children's book to take home and keep.
  • Volunteers make reading fun! In the waiting room, displays and gently-used books create a literacy-rich environment. Volunteer readers engage the children with books, modeling for the parents the pleasures and techniques of reading aloud.

The Reach Out and Read Program at TCC occurs at: S. Mark Taper Foundation, Vasek Polak, Cesar Chavez Elementary School, and Hamilton Middle School.

Shoreline Aquatic Park · Long Beach, CA

Join us for TCC's annual Beach Walk — Walk for a Healthy Community. Every step supports TCC's mission to provide quality, compassionate care to children and families who need it most.

A Message from Our CEO

On behalf of The Children's Clinic, "Serving Children and Their Families," dba TCC Family Health (TCC), we are pleased to invite you to sponsor the 2026 Beach Walk on Saturday, October 31, 2026 at Shoreline Aquatic Park in Long Beach. We depend on your support more than ever.

Established in 1939, TCC addresses community health needs by providing primary and preventative care, chronic disease management, prenatal care, dental care, and integrated behavioral and mental health services to those most in need in our community. TCC also assists patients with health insurance enrollment, transportation, free food distribution, and other critical support services.

With 14 sites — including three school-based health centers and a mobile medical clinic — TCC serves approximately 40,000 patients annually through 175,000 visits, both in person and via telehealth. These efforts not only provide ongoing comprehensive care, but reduce emergency room visits and unnecessary hospitalizations, easing the burden on the overall health care system and improving health outcomes for all populations.

This Past Year at TCC

  • Launched optometry services
  • Enhanced dental services
  • Expanded wellness services to the community
  • Opened a new site dedicated to serving adults age 55 and older (Healthy Aging at St. Mary)

Coming in the Year Ahead

TCC plans to continue expanding wellness and supportive services — including those that address the non-clinical drivers of health — and will launch acupuncture services, advancing TCC's commitment to culturally responsive care. Planned work includes:

  • Daily and weekly food distributions
  • Housing assistance
  • Health education and wellness classes and activities
  • Launching acupuncture services at TCC Family Health & Wellness

Your generous sponsorship is critical in helping TCC continue to provide high-quality care and essential services to the thousands of patients who depend on us every day.
