New Healthcare Clinic Opens in Panorama City

A new healthcare clinic offering medical and dental services to low-income patients opened its doors on Wednesday, April 1, 2026, in Panorama City. The clinic is located within the ‘Heart of the Valley’ affordable housing complex at 14533 Lanark St., Suite 120.

San Fernando Community Health Center Expands Services

The San Fernando Community Health Center (SFCHC), a long-standing healthcare provider in the San Fernando Valley, is operating the new satellite clinic. SFCHC has served the Valley for decades and aims to extend its reach with this new location.

Clinic Features and Services

The clinic is equipped with two dental exam rooms and two medical exam rooms. Services offered include dental exams, primary care, pediatric care, and treatment for chronic conditions like diabetes, hypertension, and cardiovascular diseases.

Accessibility and Funding

As a federally qualified health center, SFCHC provides care to patients regardless of their income, insurance status, or ability to pay. Appointments can be scheduled by calling 818-963-5690, though walk-ins may be accommodated.

The project received $2 million in state budget funding secured in 2022 by Representative Luz Rivas, while she served in the state Assembly representing the 43rd Assembly District.

Statements from Key Figures

Representative Luz Rivas expressed her excitement, stating, “I’m excited to be welcoming the San Fernando Community Health Center to Panorama City where it will help play a key role in providing quality medical and dental care to those facing housing and economic instability in our community.”

SFCHC CEO Audrey Simons added, “San Fernando Community Health Center has served as a trusted healthcare home in the San Fernando Valley for a century, and this new clinic extends our mission by bringing services to people who might otherwise face barriers to care.”

Integrated Housing and Healthcare

The project represents a collaborative effort between nonprofit organizations, community partners, and industry stakeholders. It aims to integrate essential health services within a supportive and sustainable housing environment. The ‘Heart of the Valley’ complex itself added 180 affordable housing units to the neighborhood in February 2025.
