To measure the health of a community’s residents, medical professionals evaluate their physical, mental and emotional condition. Finding the real picture of a community’s well-being requires a deeper look. At Broward County, we believe community health is measured by:
- The physical, mental, emotional and financial health of its residents – 1.7 million strong
- The economic health of County government – with a budget of $3.3 billion, that provides for programs and services, many of which promote the health and well-being of our community
- The fiscal strength of County government – with a bond rating reflective of the County’s strong credit position and sound economic condition
- The economic vibrancy of our business community, that contributes to the well-being of the resident workforce, and our more than 11 million visitors annually
- The physical, mental, emotional and financial health of Broward County employees – at 5,239, one of the largest employers in the County
- The safety of Broward County employees in the workplace
- The preparedness of residents, especially the most vulnerable in our community, in the event of an hurricane or other emergency
This Website offers residents an opportunity to view the wide variety of community health programs and services provided by Broward County Government, as well as ongoing healthy living recreational and educational programs, offered primarily by our Parks and Recreation and Libraries Division, which contribute to the quality of life in our community.
