HC/SEK opened in 1997 as an outreach service of Mt. Carmel Regional Medical Center in Pittsburg. It was housed in what was then the newly opened Family Resource Center (now the largest non-profit childcare center in the state) on the second floor of a 90-year-old former elementary school. Its purpose was to ensure that children were “ready to learn” and did so by providing school physicals and immunizations five days a week regardless of a family’s ability to pay.
