Healthy Aging Regional Collaborative
of South Florida


In two years, 10,000 Americans will turn 65 every day, and will continue to do so for the next 20 years. More than 800,000 residents of Miami-Dade, Broward and Monroe Counties are age 60 and over. As these numbers rapidly rise, so does the need to effectively address the health and economic challenges of an aging society.

Introducing the Healthy Aging Regional Collaborative of South Florida.  Health Foundation of South Florida created and is dedicating $7.5 million in grants over five years for this initiative to promote and preserve the health of older adults.
