LONG BEACH AWARE

Long Beach Medical Center established the Coalition to Prevent Underage Drinking in August 2000 to address underage drinking and other drug use as a public health crisis. In 2013, when it became clear the Medical Center would not re-open, the Coalition became its own not-for-profit, Long Beach AWARE. As of January 2014, we are a State funded Prevention Provider under contract with Nassau County.

Over the years, Long Beach AWARE and its partners have worked collaboratively to decrease substance use in our community.
