Beach Cities Health Beach Cities Health District's mission is to enhance community health through partnerships, programs

Beach Cities Health District (BCHD) is one of the largest preventive health agencies in the nation, and has served the communities of Hermosa Beach, Manhattan Beach and Redondo Beach since 1955. It offers an extensive range of dynamic health and wellness programs, with innovative services and facilities to promote health and prevent diseases in every lifespan—from pre-natal and children to families and older adults. In 2010, Beach Cities Health District brought Blue Zones Project to the Beach Cities, bringing together residents, restaurants, grocery stores, worksites and schools to create more opportunities to live longer, better.

Studies show that giving back to your community can reduce stress, increase happiness and improve your overall health. Whether you’re a student, retiree, working professional, parent, or part of a community group or organization, there are a variety of volunteer opportunities to match your interests and availability.

We have a need for Errand Volunteers to help older and disabled adults in the Beach Cities community maintain their independence. Our Older Adult Programs provide services to improve the quality of life and maintain the independence of older adult residents and residents with disabilities within the Beach Cities. Picking up medications and doing grocery runs are a part of the duties.

For accommodations needed to complete the volunteer application or any immediate questions, contact our team at (310) 374-3426, ext. 8246 or [email protected].

Flu season is around the corner. Take steps now to help protect yourself and your community.

Getting the flu vaccine annually is one of the best ways to reduce your risk of getting sick and experiencing serious complications from the flu. The vaccine is recommended for everyone 6 months and older.

Flu activity typically increases during fall and winter, so getting vaccinated by the end of October can help you stay protected through the season.

Along with vaccination, everyday habits like washing your hands, covering coughs and sneezes, and staying home when you're sick can limit the spread of illness

Its World Mental Health Day, take a moment to check in with yourself. 💙💚

Caring for your mental health doesn't have to begin when things feel overwhelming. Taking small, preventive steps can help support your mental and emotional well-being over time.

Whether it’s connecting with someone you care about, getting outside, or simply giving yourself a moment to slow down, small acts of care can make a difference. Mental well-being looks different for everyone, what matters is finding what helps you feel your best.

Today, be kind to yourself, check in with those around you and remember that caring for your mental health is an important part of caring for your overall health.
