Founded as a women’s health center in 1974 and now a Federally Qualified Health Center and Patient-Centered Medical Home, Westside Family Health Center (WFHC) provides quality primary care services to 12,000+ patients a year from nearly 200 zip codes in LA County. We are a trusted community partner that imparts essential health care, health information, and health education that is culturally competent and linguistically appropriate.
WFHC provides access to health care for all its patients regardless of their ability to pay. Patients can access care through a variety of programs and on a sliding fee scale. WFHC has a team that will assist you in accessing programs based on eligibility.
In April 2020, after 46 years in its original home in Santa Monica, WFHC fulfilled a longtime dream with the opening of its state-of-the-art clinic and headquarters in Culver City, which provides a dignified, boutique experience to patients where all their essential medical services are located under one roof—a rare experience even at premium health care providers, but exceedingly rare for a Community Health Center. The vision of WFHC’s new home included the expansion of mental health services, the addition of oral health, and vision care.
The site features: 12,000 square feet of clinic space, 32 exam rooms, 12,000 square feet of administrative space, and 89 parking spaces, and finally matches WFHC’s deep commitment to integrated, whole-body health care and social justice through health equity.
The Family Practice Program provides adult patients with comprehensive medical care, including healthcare, education, nutrition counseling, chronic care management for diabetes, and medication management.
Westside Family Health Center provides comprehensive, high quality, cost-effective health care in an educational and supportive environment that empowers patients to take an assertive role in caring for their well-being through all stages of life.
