  1. Consortium for a Healthier Miami-Dade

  2. Overview A survey conducted in 2006 found that over 80% of Miami-Dade County residents had one or more of the following risk factors: overweight, no physical activity, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, and/or cigarette smoke. In the U.S., 7 out of 10 deaths and the vast majority of illness, disability, and health care costs are caused by chronic diseases. FDOH Miami-Dade County recognized the need for the community to join forces to combat the increasing rates of chronic disease in the county and the Consortium was established.
