Seattle Children's Odessa Brown Children's Clinic Othello

Seattle Children's Odessa Brown children's clinic (OBCC) Othello is a vital community clinic operating under the umbrella of Seattle Children's Hospital. It is located at 3939 S Othello St Suite 101, Seattle, WA 98118, and can be reached at (206) 987-7210. This particular location, which opened in March 2022, was established to bring quality healthcare closer to the 75% of OBCC's patient families who have moved to South Seattle and South King County for more affordable housing. The clinic is part of the innovative Othello Square urban community concept, a 3.2-acre site that integrates various community resources, including an economic opportunity center, a charter school, an early learning center, and mixed-income housing, alongside healthcare services. This integrated approach allows OBCC Othello to provide not just medical care but also address social, economic, and environmental factors that impact a child's health and well-being. OBCC Othello offers a comprehensive suite of services for infants, children, teens, and young adults up to their 21st birthday. These services include primary medical care, dental services (for ages birth through 15), mental and behavioral health therapy, nutrition consultations, sports medicine, physical and occupational therapy, speech and language services, lactation services, laboratory services, and X-ray services. The clinic also features specialized programs such as the Healthy Horizons program for weight management, the Sickle Cell Disease Program, and the Community Assistance Restorative Education (CARE) Clinic, which supports youth who have experienced or are at risk of experiencing trauma. A core tenet of OBCC's mission, inherited from community organizer Odessa Brown, is to provide "quality care with dignity" regardless of a family's ability to pay. The clinic is committed to cultural relevance, with a diverse team that reflects the communities it serves, and offers services in over 30 languages. It emphasizes coordinated, whole-person care, often integrating multiple services within a single visit for patient convenience. OBCC Othello also extends its reach through school-based health clinics in Seattle. The clinic is open Monday through Friday from 7:30 a.m. to 6 p.m., and Saturday from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. (for urgent issues by appointment only).
