ADULT HEALTH
Miami-Dade AHEC strives to create innovative and highly interactive community-based health education programs. We believe that by equipping our audiences with the health knowledge they need to make smart lifestyle decisions, we can help to reduce emergency room visits, hospitalizations, and simply create a healthier, more productive
community.
Our programs are available for both youth and adults and offered through our Health Self Collaboratory. We provide all of our services to schools, churches, community groups, and worksites.
