Community Health Report

Letter from the Chief Medical Advisor, William Kim, M.D.

In 2005, Beach Cities Health District (BCHD) created a data-driven strategic planning process to prioritize funding and program implementation. The strategic plan calls for creating a community needs assessment, critically analyzing community health data, developing health priorities and cultivating strategic partnerships to advance and realize BCHD’s vision, goals and objectives. 

This report presents the most recent community health data used to develop our health priorities. Throughout the report you’ll see data indicators along with narrative for how these factors contribute to one’s health. 

Our 2025-2028 health priorities are: 

  • Mental Health & Substance Use 
  • Physical Health
