In May 2019, the Los Angeles County Development Authority (LACDA) welcomed the Central Neighborhood Health Foundation (CNHF) as the operator of the Daniel “Skip” Gibson Carmelitos Health Clinic (Clinic). The new Clinic is located within the Carmelitos Public Housing Community, which is home to over 1,700 low-income youth, families, older adults, and persons with disabilities. Comprehensive health services include primary to preventive care, and health and wellness workshops. The Clinic adopts a patient-centered model of providing care that gives Carmelitos residents and the surrounding North Long Beach community the best opportunity at improving health outcomes while meeting individual needs.
