The Miami-Dade County Parks, Recreation, and Open Spaces Department, as part of its ongoing efforts to help older adults discover the joy and benefits of improving their health and well-being through active recreation, has extended its free “Enhance Fitness” Active Adults 55 and plus exercise classes to veterans age 55 and over.
The endeavor is presented in conjunction with the Health Foundation of South Florida (HFSF), the Miami Veterans Administration Healthcare System – Geriatric Research, Education and Clinical Center (GRECC) and the National Association of Chronic Disease Directors (NACDD).
