Tichenor Clinic for Children Details
Tichenor Clinic is an established leader in providing rehabilitative services for children (0-18 years old). Founded in 1926 by Adelaide Tichenor, the Clinic is one of the oldest nonprofit community clinics in Long Beach. Adelaide learned that the best time to correct orthopedic problems during childhood. Had she received treatment as a child for a clubfoot deformity, she would not have had foot problems throughout her life. Her lifelong dream to help children with chronic orthopedic or developmental disabilities, regardless of their ability to pay, was realized with the opening of the Clinic in 1926. Fulfilling Adelaide's vision, Tichenor Clinic is dedicated to maximizing children's abilities by providing access to rehabilitative and enrichment services. Our values are clear. We empower children and families by providing education, support and training. We provide a safety net when there is a gap in services or a barrier to receiving care. We are committed to excellence. We listen to families' concerns, hopes and dreams. We have 5 programs: the Early intervention program, Therapy program (OT, PT, and SLP), Orthopedic program, Swim program, and the Parent Support Group. Annually, Tichenor Clinic provides services to approximately 800 children and their families from Long Beach and the surrounding area with over 13,000 visits. The children are underinsured (Medi-Cal or a high deductible), cannot find a provider, or do not have access to services. These essential services provide meaningful outcomes for children and families.
