PEOPLE HAVE OPPORTUNITIES
to achieve optimal health
Being healthy is the foundation on which every person of every age thrives.
United Way of Broward County invests in dozens of programs, services and partner organizations that ensure individuals and families in our community have increased control over their own health and well-being.
With the generous support of our donors, together we are:
- Providing Health and Wellness Care Coordination services, connecting clients to resources to meet their multiple needs
- Providing in and out-of-home care, including health and preventative services
- Reducing risk factors and fatalities resulting from chronic illness
- Promoting healthy behaviors and disease prevention through planned activities, education and supportive services
- Eliminating barriers by providing equal opportunity to healthcare services
Our Health programs provide care and support to wide-ranging, diverse groups of people, such as the ALICE population, children and adults with specials needs, isolated seniors, new mothers and expectant mothers, those with chronic illnesses, the homeless, and the LGBTQ community.
Our goal is to help the people who live in our community get — and stay — healthy.

SUCCESS STORY
Tears streamed down Emily’s face as she hugged her mom. She was hungry, scared and confused and her mom, Jessica, was just as scared.
