Healthy Little Havana's mission is to support and advocate efforts to strengthen Miami's Little Havana neighborhood by focusing on the social determinants of health. As the backbone of this collective impact, Healthy Little Havana's serves as an umbrella organization for community residents and organizations that share the vision of having a more prosperous community.
Healthy Little Havana's work is guided by its Community Action Plan (CAP), which separates activities into the following three health priority areas:
1. Housing
2. Education to Employment
3. Public Spaces
4. Health Care Access*
For each health priority area, a Committee has been established. Committee members will bring to bear their diverse and extensive expertise to ensure the success and growth of Healthy Little Havana strategies.
