From the Desk of BCHD
The year started off well for BCHD. CHF launched its new WellBeing weight management program and had 40 participants sign up to achieve their weight loss goals. CHF also signed up 234 new members in January. AdventurePlex had a great January with 3,000 drop-ins, 129 classes offered and 31 birthday parties. They will be offering a Spring basketball camp hosted by the Los Angeles Clippers. Community Care Services received 29 new referrals in the beginning of the new year for seniors needing assistance in their homes. BCHD has been actively developing partnerships with local community organizations. The City of Redondo Beach and South Bay Adult School has partnered with BCHD to offer classes on our campus. BCHD will host another art exhibit from the Redondo Beach Arts Group. This year’s theme is “In Motion: The Human Body in Movement.” The opening reception will be Saturday, June 12. More information will be available shortly. BCHD had a strong presence at the Daily Breeze’s annual South Bay Girl Talk Conference. Dr. Lisa Santora provided an informational presentation on women’s health and BCHD launched its new promotional attention- grabber: the Wheel of Wellness! Attendees had the opportunity to spin the wheel and win CHF prizes. More than 300 people stopped by the booth. CHF also hosted a booth at the Redondo Beach Super Bowl 10K. This month, BCHD Human Resources and AdventurePlex staff will spend an afternoon at Mira Costa High School’s career fair, talking to students about their careers at a public health agency.
