Analysis:
The City of Huntington Beach began collaborating with HOAG in 1999 to provide funding for the City’s “Seniors on the Go” transportation program. In 2014, HOAG donated $2,000,000 for construction of the new center with an additional $1,775,000 for ongoing human services programs, including $500,000 for Hoag Health and Wellness Pavilion programs and services.
In 2021, HOAG renewed its commitment and continued its five-year partnership with the City of Huntington Beach supporting the Health and Wellness Pavilion.
HOAG now wishes to continue this partnership for an additional five years. The proposed MOU provides the City with a total of $500,000 for another five years of programs and services associated with the Hoag Health and Wellness Pavilion. By integrating health screenings, fitness opportunities and educational programming, the collaboration with Hoag generates approximately 6,600 participant impressions annually and successfully fosters a culture of proactive health while promoting optimal aging.
In return, the MOU grants HOAG the use of a fitness suite and other areas as described in the MOU, as well as staff to assist in the development and maintenance of a comprehensive contracted array of exercise, fitness, and wellness offerings. The City will also continue to provide prominent signage indicating the HOAG Health and Wellness Pavilion entry area, as well as signage in the fitness center.
Approval of the MOU will memorialize and legally bind the City and HOAG with regard to its direct support of the Hoag Health and Wellness Pavilion for another five years.
