Pat Love

We adjorned for lunch, talk, raffle tickets, food, e= tc.

Pat “took charge” of the meeting with her “bell in training”. Before she could get to the first order of business HER BELL WANDERED AWAY!!. =    LEFT- BELL IN TRAINING = ( OR ON THE LAM) !!

She accused Dick McC. And/or Greg W. – both pl= eaded innocent. She spun the wheeel on herself and threw herself on the mercy of = the audience. To no immediate success, although later the “Bell in training” was spotted in Dallas’ hands. This reporter doesn’t know if it found it’s way back to momma or not.

Today&= #8217;s spekaer was Susan Burden- director of the Beach Cities Health District and Megan Burk – coordinator of Volunteer programs. First Susan complimen= ted us on being the”best, most fun” civic group in the area. She sa= id we are “special” and remembered us from her visit a year ago, w= hen she was new to her job.

Since then the Diustrict has done a THREE CITY HEALTH/NEEDS ASSESSMENT. Looking at 3 age groups and three cities.

They found in KIDS:

19% of Hermosa 5^th & 7^th g= raders were overweight; 8% of Manhattan Beach; and 26% of Redondo Beach. Statewide average is 26%. A the High school level: RUHS has = lower than aveerage drug use prolbem while MiraCosta has higher than average usag= e. That’s bad since brains develop at least unitl age 21/22 !!!!!

ADULTS –

#1 problem with men is cardiovascular

#1 problem with women is heart disease

The above problems are 80% preventable and that is w= hat the District is focusing on.

EXERCISE, DIET, REDUCE STREE, DON’T SMOKE

South Bay has higher than normal adult suicide rate<= /p>

SENIORS:

#1 GOAL – ALLOW SENIORS TO “AGE IN PLACE”

by offering CASE MANAGEMENT- 7 full time social work= ers + errand/ride volunteers,etc.

VIDEO –

We then saw a video about the BEACH CITY HEALTH DIST= RICT. 50 years old. Originally built and operated South Bay Hospital- when that w= as no longer feasible, established an endowment fund to provide services and leases the facilities for heelath related functions therby providing addiotnal funds f= or heqlth car in the South Bay.

They have counselors, dieticians, helath club, pilat= es classes, AdventurePLex operation in Manhattan Beach, and Real Estate Investments, etc.

The district serves 5000 kids in area schools, plus = all residnets on 3 beach cities. Over 300 volunteers- work on site and with sen= iors in the community. Soon a 30 surgeon OUTPATIENT SURGERY CENTER will be opera= ting there.

90% of the district’s budget is funded by their investment income and the endowment. 10% is funded by the annual propery tax increment.
