Anne Sippi was a brave woman who struggled with Schizophrenia most of her life. In the mid 70’s her family began investigating the possibility of founding a clinic for the care of people like their daughter. The Anne Sippi Clinic was formed out of this hope to establish a healing environment that promotes independence and personal growth.

The Anne Sippi Clinic represents a concept of treatment that began its development long before the clinic opened its doors in 1978. Our second clinic, located in Kern County opened in 1998.
