Odessa Brown Children’s Clinic

Delivering a positive experience for patients, their families and workforce members is our top priority. During routine evaluations of the renovation project currently underway at Odessa Brown Children’s Clinic (OBCC) Central District, it was discovered that repairs were needed that were beyond the original scope. As a result, we will be closing this location for the time being to fully evaluate the situation and develop long-term plans. We are shifting operations to the recently opened OBCC Othello location in early July.

We are currently rescheduling families with OBCC Central location appointments to receive care at the OBCC Othello location or via telehealth.

We remain firmly committed to the Central District community and are working toward a solution. We promise to keep patients, families and the community updated on progress.

Preliminary sketch of Odessa Brown Children’s Clinic at Othello

Seattle Children’s today announced it will be opening a new Odessa Brown Children’s Clinic (OBCC) adjacent to the Othello Link light rail station in the Rainier Valley. OBCC is a community clinic that provides medical, dental, mental health and nutrition services to all families, regardless of their ability to pay. OBCC has been committed to delivering equitable health and wellness care to lower-income and ethnically diverse children for nearly half a century.

The new clinic will be approximately 35,000 square feet to meet the wellness needs of the growing pediatric population in south Seattle and south King County. Services at the Othello location will include pediatric medical care, mental health, dental services, nutrition, sports medicine, physical therapy, and occupational therapy.

The clinic will also be part of a unique urban community concept called “Othello Square,” a 3.2-acre site that will provide families with convenient access to services, such as a charter high school, an economic opportunity center, a computer lab, an early learning center, affordable retail and commercial spaces for rent, community meeting spaces, and mixed-income housing for rent and ownership.

Seattle Children’s plans to break ground on the new clinic in 2019. Read more about the new clinic in our press release. The original OBCC, located in the Central District, will be renovated to upgrade its clinical facilities and maintain its cultural heritage in the community. The clinic will continue to serve families in the Central District and adjacent neighborhoods, as well as communities to the north and west.
