It is with great pleasure that we welcome you to the Consortium for a Healthier Miami-Dade website. Its mission is to be a major catalyst for healthy living in Miami-Dade. The Consortium is made up of over 50 different organizations that are committed to bringing together a common voice in the area of health and healthcare information. In order to fulfill its mission the Consortium will represent the public health interest and the on-going processes of the development and implementation of healthier standards by involvement in the activities of the community.

The Consortium will: Educate through promoting the cost-effective benefits of healthy lifestyles; sponsor Health Policy at the local and state levels supporting healthy lifestyles and health promoting environments; and collaborate on jointly prioritized goals to achieve community health.

In the area of public health one agency alone cannot do the enormous task of influencing the population, however through collaboration the Consortium’s vision of a healthy environment, healthy lifestyles and a healthy community for all Miami-Dade County residents and visitors will be fulfilled.
