Have you been looking for a unique way to reach out to senior and/or disabled adults living in the Beach Cities?
Our Support Line Program volunteer opportunity might be for you. The Support Line was developed to provide our senior and/or disabled clients with monthly or quarterly friendly check-in telephone calls. Support Line volunteers will make these telephone calls to help make sure that our clients' needs are being met. Support Line volunteers provide social interaction and support as well as create an additional link between Care Managers and clients, strengthening this important relationship.
Volunteers will be making phone calls from our offices during business hours and will have the chance to closely interact with Community Care Services' staff.

Mission Statement
Beach Cities Health District (BCHD) is a healthcare district focused on preventive health and serves the communities of Hermosa Beach, Manhattan Beach and Redondo Beach. Established in 1955 as a public agency, it offers an extensive range of dynamic health and wellness programs, with innovative services and facilities to promote health and prevent diseases across the lifespan.
Description
Focusing on wellness, not sickness, encourages people to make wiser healthcare decisions. Preventative causes of illness and death, like tobacco smoking, poor diet and physical inactivity, are estimated to be responsible for nearly a million deaths annually-almost 40 percent of total yearly mortality in the United States. According to the Center for Disease Control (CDC), about 90 percent of today’s healthcare costs are for treating people with chronic yet preventable diseases. BCHD’s wellness and healthy living programs and services are aimed at making prevention an integral part of the classrooms, workplace and homes of the beach cities.
To enhance community health through partnerships, programs and services for people who live and work in Hermosa, Manhattan and Redondo Beach.
