HEALTH

We Live United For Health

Good health is central to living a better life. Whether it is access to routine health check-ups, having someone to talk to about your mental well-being, or learning healthy behaviors, one’s health status can dramatically influence quality of life. Heart of Florida United Way supported programs and services that helped 42,732 Central Floridians improve their health and avoid risky behaviors by participating in programs designed to benefit the health of children, youth, and adults.
