South Pasadena seniors and adults, we want to hear from YOU! The City of South Pasadena, in collaboration with UCLA Master of Public Health (MPH) students, is conducting a Community Needs Survey to better understand the needs of our adult and older adult residents.

Your feedback will help identify gaps in existing programs and services and shape future efforts to support the health, well-being, and quality of life of our community. 🏡💚

📝 Haven’t taken the survey yet? Now’s the time!
