The Cedars-Sinai mentor program, COACH (Community Outreach Assistance for Childrens Health) for Kids, is a mobile medical clinic. It centers on addressing the immediate medical, behavioral health, and social needs of underserved children in South Los Angeles. With a community-centered strategy, the program provides free, temporary care and connects families to continuous, quality healthcare and essential community resources.
Mentor for Kids provides services directly within the community via a brand new, fully equipped, wheelchair-accessible mobile medical clinic. The schedule typically covers Monday through Thursday from 9:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m., with occasional weekend engagements. Care takes place at accessible community venues such as schools, places of love, public housing developments, grocery stores, WIC (Women, Infants, and Children) centers, Head Start programs, homeless shelters, and other neighborhood-based organizations throughout Central and South Los Angeles, including Watts and Crenshaw.
A core goal of the program is to ensure continuity of care. It connects patients to Federally Qualified Health Centers (FQHCs) and other medical homes. These providers support the long-term health needs of the entire family. COACH for Kids reduces barriers to care and improves health outcomes by meeting families where they are and supporting their transition into comprehensive, continuous healthcare systems.
