South County Community Health Clinic in East Palo Alto
In December 2001, the South County Community Health Clinic opened its doors to begin providing medical care and health outreach to the people of East Palo Alto, Belle Haven, and Fair Oaks. The facility provides primary health care and human services, particularly to the most vulnerable populations, the elderly and children. Patients also benefit from preventative physical and mental health services and neo-natal and infant care. In the first four months of its operations, the clinic treated more than 1,000 patients and hosted 100 meetings focused on community issues.

Due to the requests of various organizations, Tooth Mobile was selected as a solution to enhance S.C.C.H.C. service and was approached by Stanford and Lucile Packard to provide free dental care at the site. Currently, Tooth Mobile is stationed at the Clinic twice per month to add dental services-including cleanings, fillings, root canals and extractions-to the array of services provided at the facility. On average, thirty-two East Palo Alto residents are treated each month.
