THE PEOPLE AT VENICE FAMILY CLINIC believe that everyone deserves quality health care, regardless of their income, insurance or immigration status. What began in a borrowed storefront dental office in 1970 with all-volunteer physicians has grown into a robust network of 12 sites in Venice, Santa Monica, Mar Vista, Inglewood and Culver City, plus an extensive street medicine program that provides comprehensive health services to nearly 28,000 people each year.

Services include:

• primary and specialty care
• dental
• vision
• behavioral health
• substance-use treatment
• health education
• health insurance enrollment
• early childhood development

They have also partnered with leading doctors and healthcare facilities across Southern California, including: UCLA Health and David Geffen School of Medicine, Cedars-Sinai Medical Center, Kaiser Permanente and Providence Saint John’s Health Center. And they work with local community organizations and service providers, so their patients have access to social and economic programs that will keep them healthy.

Patients often come to Venice Family Clinic because no one else will see them. They return because they trust the Clinic’s providers, they feel safe in their surroundings, they receive quality care and they are treated with dignity.
