The Miami-Dade County Health Department recently recognized its Volunteers and Partners during a reception at South Miami Hospital. In the past year, approximately 1,470 health department volunteers and partners have provided over $29 million in health care services to more than 57,082 uninsured and underinsured men, women and children in Miami-Dade County. They share their special talents and provide many types of services from direct medical or dental care to administrative support to our community.
