Miami, FL- Bilzin Sumberg is a proud recipient of this year's Florida Worksite Wellness Awards, an initiative from the Florida Department of Health in Miami-Dade County’s Consortium for a Healthier Miami-Dade to distinguish local businesses for their outstanding efforts to promote wellness and improve employees' quality of life.

The Florida Department of Health in Miami-Dade County initiated the Consortium for a Healthier Miami-Dade in 2003 to address the increasing rates of chronic diseases in the local community. The Consortium is comprised of community agencies that work in collaboration to promote healthy lifestyles including a healthy diet, regular physical activity and not using tobacco products.
