Odessa Brown Children’s Clinic (OBCC) is returning to its roots with the grand opening of its new Central District location on Saturday, August 9. The outdoor celebration, taking place from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. at 1711 S. Jackson St., will feature arts and crafts, music, games, a vaccine clinic, and giveaways. Patients, families, community members, local leaders, and members of the Odessa Brown family will join OBCC and Seattle Children’s staff to mark this milestone.
