Beskrivelse

Long Beach honored two legendary lifeguard pioneers, Dick Miller and Pat Flynn, by dedicating their names to the city’s Junior Lifeguard facility — a program they founded in 1971 that’s trained thousands of young ocean safety leaders. From just 63 kids to over 800 this summer, their legacy lives on in every junior lifeguard who learns rescue skills, leadership, and the value of public service. The historic 1930s building, freshly renovated, now stands as a tribute to their decades of dedication — Miller, former chief of Long Beach Lifeguards, and Flynn, who rose from beach patrol to search and rescue — whose combined vision continues to keep the coast safe and inspire generations.

New VA Center Redefines Veteran Care | Long Beach News

Veterans get a brand-new home at the Tibor Rubin VA Medical Center in Long Beach — a $189 million, 120-room Community Living Center designed to feel like a neighborhood, not a hospital. Opening in phases, it replaces a 1960s facility and features themed “neighborhoods” like Naples and Belmont, complete with private rooms, kitchens, and lounges. Built over a decade after planning began, the center offers 24/7 skilled care, rehab, hospice, and caregiver support — all aimed at making veterans feel seen, safe, and grateful. Stories from residents highlight life-changing care, proving this isn’t just a building — it’s a promise kept. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.

Long Beach Homeless Count Shows Mixed Results | Long Beach News

Long Beach’s latest homeless count shows a small uptick overall, but a hopeful trend: more people are in shelters and street sleeping is at its lowest in four years. Yet, funding woes threaten progress—federal cuts and shrinking LA County Measure A support could slash city resources, jeopardizing vital housing and health programs. With key funding set to drop sharply starting October, the city’s ability to sustain these critical services is in serious jeopardy.
