Chinatown Service Center history

In 1975, CSC moved from its Church affiliation and was incorporated as a non-profit organization dedicated to community service.

LOCATION TIMELINE In March 1985, CSC began occupying part of the first floor of the newly built, low income senior housing building called Cathay Manor.

In 1990, the Board of Directors took the bold step of purchasing 8,000 sq. ft. of space located on the fourth floor of Alpine Towers, 767 North Hill Street, about two blocks from the Cathay Manor site.

In 1991, CSC completed improvements at Alpine Towers, establishing it as CSC’s “main office”. By April, remodeling of the Cathay Manor space was completed, doubling the size of our health clinic and expanding our social service program space.

In 1992, CSC opened a small part time office in Monterey Park, located on Atlantic Blvd.

In 1998, CSC’s “branch office” moved to Alpine Towers consolidating all of CSC’s services under one roof.

In 2001, CSC opened a Youth Center at 727 North Broadway to expand its services to youths.

In 2004, CSC remodeled its clinic space to provide dental services.

In 2007, CSC’s clinic was designated a Federally Qualified Health Clinic (FQHC) and changed its name to CSC Community Health Center (CSC CHC) and began the transition to upgrading its records system to state-of-the-art electronic medical records shortly after that.

With American Reinvestment And Recovery Act funds and an additional federal capital grant, in 2011 CSC remodeled and expanded its main office clinic to add three treatment rooms, one dental operatory, a larger waiting room, and overall improvements to patient flow.

In 2015, CSC Community Health Center opened a second Dental Clinic in the City of Monterey Park at 850 South Atlantic Blvd., Suite 303.

In 2016, CSC Community Health Center opened a third Dental Clinic and a second Behavioral Health Division in the City of Alhambra at 320 South Garfield Avenue Suite 126 and Suite 202 to expand one stop Community Health Clinic services in San Gabriel Valley district.
