The Consortium for a Healthier Miami-Dade (Consortium) sponsored by the Florida Department of Health in Miami-Dade County, will honor organizations at their annual meeting. In 2003, the Public Health Community came together and formed a collaborative to address the increasing rates of chronic disease in Miami-Dade County. The Consortium formed community partnerships with the public and private sector to promote healthy lifestyles including a healthy diet, regular physical activity and no tobacco use.
The mission of the Consortium is to be a major catalyst for healthy living in Miami-Dade County. Its vision is a Healthy Environment, Healthy Lifestyle, and Healthy Community. The four main community goals of the Consortium are to integrate planning and assessment processes to maximize partnership and expertise of the community in accomplishing its goals, to increase the percentage of adults and children who are at a healthy weight, to build and revitalize communities so people can live healthy lives, and to increase access to resources that promote healthy behaviors.
Organizations that have been supportive and committed in serving this initiative since its inception will be honored.
