For more than 50 years, the Kaiser Watts Counseling and Learning Center has offered a variety of services, including counseling, an accredited preschool, and programs focused on the development of essential life skills to an underserved neighborhood in Los Angeles.

Kaiser Permanente resolved to rebuild their existing facilities and develop new medical offices to deliver primary and specialized care, including pharmacy, radiology, and laboratory services, seeking to address health disparities and provide equity and wellness to the 39,000 people living and working in the Watts community.

The center now offers comprehensive medical services, mental health counseling, and learning opportunities to promote holistic well-being, providing a foundation for both physical and mental health improvement.
