Mrs. Lamothe, Founder of CCHC

About Us
Mrs. Marie N. Lamothe, the founder of Compton Central Health, assumed ownership of the Clinic in March of 1994, and converted it to a non-profit Community Clinic. CCHC is located in a residential area.  Compton adult school is around the corner from the clinic, Double Rock Baptist Church, Compton’s largest Christian congregation is less than a mile away, and all around are areas where significant numbers of persons reside who are welfare dependent or are indigent. With a strong humanitarian spirit, Mrs. Lamothe believes that “as a member of a community, a business should demonstrate a concern for the citizens and problems in the areas it serves.”

Operating under this philosophy, CCHC has consistently sponsored events, such as opening the doors to the clinic as a Halloween Haunted House to allow kids a safe environment to enjoy their Halloween celebration, organized several homeless feedings, including preparation and distribution of meals for Thanksgiving, hosted Easter egg and gift hunts for the children, and sponsors a large Health Fair for the community providing free health screenings, resource information, food, rides, and entertainment for the residents. CCHC also sponsors a youth chess club, and participates in community meetings and local group activities.

The Clinic supports activities by other human service and healthcare providers, such as the Watts Health Foundation, His Sheltering Arms, WLAC and other organizations to provide health education and resource information in a variety of formal settings, such as schools, public housing sites, and community based organizations, etc.

Whether doing street outreach, meeting indigent and low-income persons in parks and other places where they congregate, conducting door to door flyer distribution, or meeting with small businesses to provide information on health programs, CCHC has an intimate knowledge of its service area, and continually seeks opportunities to collaborate with other groups and outreach to the community.
