FASHIONABLE, FLAVORFUL, FAIR DOWNEY! WELCOME TO DOWNEY and to the latest edition of Downey’s Community Guide and Business Directory! Like the Downey Chamber, this publication is designed to inform, connect and used as a helpful reference tool. Serving the business community since 1903, the Downey Chamber is one of the oldest service organizations operating in Downey and we are very proud of our opportunity to represent. One of the best parts of our work here at the Chamber are the remarkable partnerships formed with our members, including the Downey Unified School District and our Non-Profit partners. Through rewarding and beneficial relationships with our own city government – along with our local County, State and Federal representatives – the Chamber is positioned to be a valuable resource for our membership! We are currently looking to expand our commitment to the city’s Non-Profit community. Our goal is to take funds raised by our organization and “pay it forward” to as many charities as possible. Events such as the Dia de Los Muertos, golf tournaments for groups like Kiwanis, Gangs Out of Downey, and the City’s annual Tree Lighting Ceremony have been promoted and supported by the Chamber. Our own annual events, The Downey Christmas Parade along with Street Faire has special pricing for all

non-profits, and these events create so many family friendly memories. Downey is such a unique community. At every City Council our Mayor presents a Downey DNA award. This certificate is given to a local citizen who represents a quality that we feel is very much in Downey’s DNA, a quality that exemplifies generosity, charity, commitment and a strong sense of giving back. This is what makes serving the community so exciting -- being able to work with and for so many incredible people in this town makes working for the Chamber pure joy! It is our pleasure to introduce you to Downey. Our restaurants are fun and flavorful, our retail shops are fun and fashionable, and our businesses are fun and fair! Let the Chamber and our Community Guide be your guide!

Downey is a city of many fine churches that offer a variety of religious and social activities which are reminiscent of small town living.

These persons are elected for a four-year term, and usually they select a Mayor and a Mayor Pro-Tem from among themselves on an annual basis. Municipal elections are held on the second Tuesday in November in even-numbered years. The Council meets on the second and fourth Tuesdays at 6:30 p.m. in the Council Chambers at 11111 Brookshire Avenue. The Chambers are a part of the threestory, 54,000 square foot City Hall that was completed in 1984.

It is also home to the only Challenger Learning Center for simulated space missions in the Los Angeles area.

The Columbia Memorial Space Center presents an overview of Downey’s space legacy. Downey played a crucial role in World War II and the development of the first cruise missile in the 50s, as well as the engineering and building of the Apollo Command Modules and the Space Shuttle Orbiters. A Robotics Lab, a Computer Lab, and a wide range of interactive exhibits now provide engaging insights into Space Shuttle operations. Living and working on the International Space Station, exploration of the solar system, aerospace engineering, and the dynamic range of fields related to venturing into space are also included.

The Columbia Memorial Space Center is a hands-on learning center that is dedicated to bringing the wonder and excitement of space science to children of all ages. Located in Downey, it strives to be the most accessible space science center in the Los Angeles area.

And they’re adding more all the time. The Space Center also hosts one of 48 Challenger Learning Centers on the planet, and the only CLC in the greater Los Angeles area.

Today, the 400-bed facility serves more than 1.5 million residents of Los Angeles, Orange, and San Bernardino counties.

PIH Health prides itself on providing high-quality healthcare, a comprehensive array of services, and the latest technology. Because scientific breakthroughs and standards of quality patient care are ever-evolving, PIH Health strives not only to keep pace, but to lead the way. To that end, PIH Health rang in the new millennium by announcing the Century Campaign for a multi-phased Master Plan to secure its place as a healthcare leader well into the 21st century.

From its very beginnings in 1959, PIH Health has earned the trust and support of the community by its unparalleled commitment to excellence and a medical staff whose focus is to ensure the finest care for its patients. The hospital has retained the trust of the community by maintaining the highest standards in medical services, making PIH Health the area’s acknowledged leading healthcare center. The hospital was founded during California’s post-WWII population boom that triggered widespread hospital-bed shortages. From its inception, the strength of PIH Health has been in its vision of a healthier future and a determination to be the best. As a not-for-profit hospital, PIH’s efforts to benefit the community include programs and services which effectively 10

PIH Health is ranked number 22 among 140 hospitals in the Los Angeles Metro area, and number 34 among the nearly 500 hospitals in California. It has been noted as performing highly in the specialty areas of Diabetes and Endocrinology, Nephrology and Pulmonology and Ear, Nose and Throat.

PIH Health is a fully integrated healthcare system with the completion in 2005 of the Ed L. Shannon Tower (phase one of the 3 Tower/Medical Office Building Master Plan) and the 2006 approval of the $200 million+ Plaza 1 Tower. Guided by the deep-seated belief that healthcare is a right and not a privilege, the approximately 3,000-member staff and 600 physicians/specialists are prepared to serve the region’s residents and fulfill the PIH Health promise to deliver the best health care model medicine has to offer.

RANCHO LOS AMIGOS

Downey is also known for its amazing rehabilitation hospital, Rancho Los Amigos, located at Imperial and Rives.

Encompassing more than 200 acres, the site first began in 1878 as a poor farm for the Countyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s indigent population. Superintendents came and went often in the early days. But in 1915, the hospital obtained the services of William R. Harriman to rehabilitate the farm. Not only did Harriman make the farm feed the hospital patients, but provided vegetables for the General Hospital and other County charities.

www.downeychamber.com

HEALTH & WELLNESS

In 1929 the ranch had the care of 2,000 patients, with an average age of 64 years. Then in the 1940s a change began. The humane and progressive policies established by the administration and Harriman then moved into the medical field. Harriman convinced the Supervisors to build a modern hospital with an eventual projection of 5,000 patients. Rancho would not be just concerned with custodial care, â&#x20AC;&#x153;it would take the difficult cases which required long-time treatment and use all the resources at its command to restore the patient to a useful life.â&#x20AC;?

DOWNEY OFFICE: 10603 Haledon Avenue, Downey, CA 90241

The impetus for Rancho to become a long-term care for patients with a chronic disease began with polio patients in 1944 who were treated and restored to a functional existence. Next came physical rehabilitation in 1955 to persons disabled by spinal cord injuries or disease, severe arthritis, multiple sclerosis, muscular dystrophy, strokes and amputations. Today, medical and technological teams include physicians, registered nurses, physical therapists, occupational therapists, medical social workers, psychologists, vocational specialists, dietitians and over 2,500 employees working around the clock. The hospital is unique in the country, if not the world.

EDUCATIONAL EXCELLENCE

EDUCATIONAL EXCELLENCE Downey has always put a premium on its school system. In 1877, the Southern Pacific College was built on land at Fifth and New Streets and 87 students were enrolled. James M. Monroe founded the school. Dr. C. B. Riddick bought the school, renaming it the Los Nietos Valley Institute. This school did not succeed and was soon closed down and abandoned. It later burned to the ground. In 1901, residents of Los Nietos Valley organized a high school district, naming the high school Los Nietos Valley Union High School. They had no building for the school, but found temporary quarters in the Downey Grammar School auditorium at the corner of Second and Dolan Streets. A high school was built in December 1905, on Brookshire at Second Street, and in 1915 the name was changed to Downey Union High School. Today, Downey High is recognized in the National Rankings and earned a bronze medal, according to U.S. News and World Report (schools are ranked based on their performance on staterequired tests and how well they prepare students for college).The high school has an average graduation rate of 95% compared with 83% for the Los Angeles area and 82% for the United States.

AEROSPACE PUT DOWNEY ON THE MAP

Downey evolved as a city and as an “aerospace factory” (North American Aviation). An airplane factory later converted to a rocket plant and eventually became the aerospace complex known as Rockwell International’s Space System Division. A few years later, before the Apollo program ended in 1975, the division was awarded another NASA contract to develop the first reusable spacecraft – the Space Shuttle orbiter. Rockwell’s Downey Complex built four space-rated orbiters: Columbia, Challenger, Discovery, and Atlantis. They also built along with a prototype, the Enterprise, for atmospheric test flights. Rockwell went on to become Boeing, staying in Downey until the late 1990s.
