Introduction
HEALTH RESOURCES
The 2015 Miami Community Services resource directory was
developed by the Jay Weiss Institute for Health Equity (JWI) which is
part of the University of Miami (UM) Sylvester Comprehensive Cancer
Center. This is the third edition of the directory. Prior editions were
printed in 2008 and 2011.
The directory is designed to provide information about resources
for anyone seeking assistance with a wide range of health and
socials services. Although the JWI focuses on cancer, this directory
includes resources for many types of services. It is a starting point for
addressing a broad range of health and social issues at a glance. We
hope that you will find it useful.
The JWI’s hope is to make meaningful progress towards health equity
through outreach, community partnerships, research, advocacy, and
training. It consists of three inter-related program areas: community
outreach, research, and training. In all areas, we collaborate with
community partners who offer critical insight regarding risk conditions
affecting health and healthcare utilization.
Information in this guide was obtained from various sources,
recommendations from our community partners and information
on the Internet, including Switchboard of Miami (2-1-1) and the
Miami Matters.
Every effort has been made to ensure accuracy of the content at
the time of publication. The authors disclaim any responsibility for
inaccurate, misprinted or omitted information obtained from other
sources. Inclusion in this guide does not imply endorsement or
approval of programs or services. Neither the UM Miller School of
Medicine or the authors of this directory are responsible or liable for
the services and activities provided by organizations and agencies
listed in the guide.
