Arise Christian Center
is dedicated to ministering to the whole person; mind, body and spirit.
Our health ministry offers Biblically based classes in nutrition, exercise and alternative medicine. We host guest speakers and seminars on health related topics such as heart disease and herbal remedies.
Arise Community Health Care makes an impact on the health of the uninsured
members of our local community by providing disease prevention education
and health screenings for early diagnosis. Our program also provides
opportunities for community members to make the three lifestyle adjustments
that can reduce and help control high blood pressure and its related diseases;
losing weight, increasing physical activity, and changing to a nutritionally
sound diet.
Arise Community Health Center (ACHC) is a permanent Health Promotional facility that has been developed to administer an in-house health component. We in collaboration with other community based programs, educational institutions and health care facilities provide free health care screenings, and if necessary make the appropriate referral for follow-up health care. Our agency, ACHC, monitors the health and provides services and disease prevention programs to ACC members and residents in our service area of South West Los Angeles and our neighboring communities of Culver City and Inglewood.
Our goal is to increase awareness and the knowledge-base of our members and community by focusing on preventive health measures and giving access to free quality health-care services in a supportive environment. We partner with educational institutions such as T.H.E. Clinic, Positive Imagery Foundation, USC, West Los Angeles College, King/Drew Medical Center, UCLA Cancer Center, and the Los Angeles Veterans Resource Center to provide health education/screening events. In addition, we collaborate with organizations such as the American Heart Association, The American Diabetes Association, The American Cancer Society and government agencies such as the Los Angeles Department of Public Health to maximize and provide optimal services delivery, making the most of our educational programs and resources to the uninsured and underinsured members of our community.
ACHC has 700 square feet of space, which includes two classrooms and one audiovisual meeting room. One of the classrooms will be transformed to accommodate our health component, and health fitness-gym. The other classroom will house our health educational resource room with easy access to a library and director’s office. The reception office and restrooms are shared with Arise Christian Center. In addition, the church sanctuary can is transformed into a large forum, to host a greater capacity of participants and fitness classes. The rear parking lot will be tented for health fairs and community outreach programs. The suite of offices is wheelchair accessible. Arise Christian Center has two 20-passenger buses that are available to pick up seniors, take youth on field trips and transport volunteers for outreach programs.
The ACHC 15-member steering committee is comprised of health-care professionals and community volunteers including, Dr. Osbourne Blake, internist, Dr. Ronald Beavers, psychologist, specializing in behavior modification and health promotions, Donna Cashie, R.N., Marlene Boykins, mammogram technician, Dr. Merci Rosenweig, dentist, in addition to a dietitian, two fitness instructors, and a nutritional counselor. The program director is Angela de Joseph. The staff includes one part-time health educator and a team of dedicated community volunteers.
