Carehouse Healthcare Center

The mission of Southern California Medical Center is to deliver the highest quality of health care to the underserved population with a focus on education and prevention. The management staff and Board of Directors at SCMC believe that in order to understand the needs of the community, we first have to understand the culture of such a population and be able to break those linguistic barriers. We believe in educating community members of all colors, creeds, & ages on prevention in order to keep our community filled with healthy and happy families.

Providence Southern California has built a broad range of community benefit programs serving the elderly, the uninsured, our immigrants, school children and those with mental illnesses. Our Community Health office in Torrance offers assistance with the Community Health Insurance Program (CHIP). CHIP provides a team of bilingual (English/Spanish) community health workers who advise consumers on public programs they are eligible for and help them enroll into a suitable health plan, including Cal-Fresh, Covered CA and Medi-Cal.
