Hume Concord Clinics are Combining
In June, 2019, The Hume Center integrated the Phoenix Center into its set of programs. The Phoenix Center offers psychotherapy and psychiatry services for adult Medi-Cal consumers. The Phoenix Center is located just half a mile from our existing Concord Clinic. On April 24, 2020, the Phoenix Center will close as planned and all services and staff currently offered there will be migrated to our Concord Clinic starting April 27.
Click here to download an information flier that includes a map showing both clinics. The Phoenix Center's phone and fax numbers will continue to work at our Concord Clinic starting April 27, 2020.
