About the Clinic
​Since 1970, Odessa Brown Children’s Clinic has provided quality care with dignity - promoting whole child wellness by covering primary medical, dental, nutritional, mental health and basic needs - regardless of a family's ability to pay. OBCC is dedicated to promoting quality pediatric care, family advocacy, health collaboration, mentoring, and education in a culturally relevant context.
Odessa Brown Children's Clinic - Othello
In order to meet the growing needs of OBCC families, Seattle Children’s – with the support of the community – opened the Othello location in 2022. Located near the Othello Link light rail station in Seattle’s Rainier Valley, this site is close to the 75% of clinic families who have moved to south Seattle and south King County for more affordable housing.
Services at this location include medical care, behavioral health care, dental services, nutrition classes, sports medicine, physical therapy, occupational therapy and more. In addition, OBCC brings care to students at four school-based health clinics in Seattle.
​
OBCC Othello is part of a unique urban community concept called Othello Square, a 3.2-acre site that brings together all the pieces of health and community including a charter elementary school, an early development center, affordable retail and commercial spaces, community meeting spaces and mixed-income housing.​​
Odessa Brown Children's Clinic - Central District
​OBCC Central District will open in Summer 2025 at its new location on the corner of 18th Avenue S. and S. Jackson Street in Seattle’s Central District. This new location will offer primary care services and expanded behavioral health services, including autism spectrum disorder. OBCC Central District will have a trauma care clinic offering services dedicated to addressing trauma, including to address human trafficking, domestic violence, substance use disorder, child abuse and firearm violence.  A community work group is helping to build and define these services.
