    2. 2 The city of “Miami” Blessed with year-round mild climates and unrivaled ocean access, America’s southernmost resort city is also a sought-after international recreation destination. Ranked the nation’s #1 Healthiest City by Natural Health Magazine in 2002, Miami caters to action-oriented visitors from around the globe with some of the world's top golf, tennis and sporting facilities. Add sparkling waters that are a magnet for boating enthusiasts, fishermen, divers and water sports and it is easy to see why Miami is a number one choice for active travelers of all ages. They enjoy the beautiful sunshine and our warm beaches. Beneath all that glamour and rays of sunshine lies a group of people plagued by health disparities. They cannot enjoy their surroundings because of the hand life has dealt them, not because of where they were born but due to the disparities that encompass them because of their race and cultural ethnicity.
