To celebrate a decade of service to older people in the Valley, Columbia West Hills Medical Center’s Senior Friends will throw a party Thursday to honor nine of its charter members.
Founded in April 1987, the group has grown from only a few seniors to nearly 4,000 members, and is one of more than 220 chapters nationwide.
About 1,500 are expected at Thursday’s party.
In addition to a barbecue and entertainment, the group will distribute coupons for free health screenings, including those for blood pressure, hearing, blood glucose and cardiovascular evaluation.
The event, to be held from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m., is free to current members. Admission for nonmembers is $15, which includes the screening coupons and membership.
Senior Friends, open to all adults 50 and older, offers a fitness program, lectures, wellness classes, prescription discounts, social events and travel opportunities.
West Hills Medical Center is located at 7300 Medical Center Drive.
To make reservations for the event, call (818) 227-6757.
