The Campus

A vision for health, livability and community.

State of the Current Campus

To address escalating maintenance costs as well as seismic and structural issues common with buildings built in the 1950s and ’60s, BCHD’s board and the project’s Community Working Group directed staff to take a broader look at the campus and prioritize safety. This occurred after seismic experts provided analysis and preliminary costs that concluded no legal obligation exists to address any building’s structural integrity, but there were issues that should be addressed.

Center for Health & Fitness Relocation

The Board of Directors will consider a lease agreement for the fitness center—relocating the fitness center to the 510 building in 2027.

Positive Steps Forward

April 2025, we shared updates on the Healthy Living Campus master plan, including progress on several key components.

A new space has been secured in the 510 N. Prospect Building for the Center for Health & Fitness, with an anticipated opening in 2027. We’re also working toward establishing a long-term Program of All-Inclusive Care for the Elderly (PACE) provider in the same building. These steps reflect our ongoing commitment to expanding health and wellness services for the community, while also allowing us to retain the 510 N. Prospect Avenue building for the long term and preserve the adjacent green space along Diamond Street—addressing a key concern raised by neighboring residents.

New Opportunities

As we continue to move forward with the Healthy Living Campus, we’re pleased to share the next steps in revitalizing our campus, including vacating the 514 Building in early 2027 to make way for new possibilities. The first step in this process happened last week when the BCHD Board of Directors discussed creating a Request for Proposals (RFP) to explore future health services for the Campus. Potential uses include Residential Care for the Elderly (RCFE), Senior Affordable Housing, or Medical Office Space/Health-Related Services—all within the scope of services BCHD can provide under California Healthcare District law.

Then two days later on April 25, we held another engagement opportunity for residents at BCHD’s Strategic Development community meeting. We asked for your feedback on new and existing health opportunities on the campus, your priorities and how the space can best support BCHD’s goals. The response was tremendous! We’re grateful for your feedback and are committed to continuing community engagement through this process.

This is an important time for BCHD, and we look forward to sharing more as we work together to shape the future for Beach Cites Health District, our Healthy Living Campus, and the health of our community.
