25 Years of Preventive Health Success
In 2023, BCHD commemorated “25 years of Preventive Health Success,” highlighting the numerous accomplishments the health district has achieved on behalf of the residents of Hermosa Beach, Manhattan Beach and Redondo Beach since changing its focus to preventive health and wellness in 1998.

What I think makes our school district special — and having been in this business over 30 years, I can say this with conviction — is that we have the Beach Cities Health District. No other community has an organization so focused on our students’ health and integrated into the very fabric of our programmatic pieces, the educational academic piece.
This program through our school district is amazing because it’s supported by the Beach Cities Health District and they’re the ones that are behind everything that goes on. And if they weren’t here, then I don’t think these programs would exist.
Thanks to our partnership with the school district, we were able to develop programming and address childhood obesity by improving nutrition and exercise more than a dozen years ago. Several years later, Beach Cities Health District brought the Blue Zones project to the community to specifically address the health needs of the adult population by using permanent, evidence-based environmental and policy changes in schools, workplaces, restaurants, businesses, and city governments. These changes have also positively impacted students by making the healthy choice the easy choice for residents of all ages.
