I enjoyed bringing together community leaders, organizations, and local partners for our Partner Appreciation Breakfast.

Through initiatives like Peace365, Lauderhill Shines, and Healthy You, our partners have helped us expand opportunities for entrepreneurs, connect residents with health resources, support young people, and strengthen our neighborhoods.

The breakfast was an opportunity to recognize their contributions, celebrate what we have been able to accomplished together, and focus on how we can continue building a healthy, safe, and prosperous Lauderhill where families and business can thrive.

Thank you to every partner who has helped turn that vision into action. We look forward to continuing this work together.

Earlier this week, the City of Lauderhill recognized June 2025 as Black Men’s Health Month and the launch of the Take Your Loved One to the Doctor (TYLOTD) campaign — a bold, community-led effort powered by the Health Foundation of South Florida to address the urgent health disparities affecting Black men in Lauderhill and Overtown. Inspired by the national initiative started by radio host Tom Joyner, this local activation meets men where they are, building trust and access to care.

Introduced during Men’s Health Month and continuing through Prostate Cancer Awareness Month in September, the campaign aims to engage 500 Black men to take themselves — and someone they care about — to the doctor. With a focus on preventive care, early detection, and access to services, TYLOTD is designed to break cycles of medical mistrust and survival-mode health habits.

We’re grateful to Commission Melissa P. Dunn and the City of Lauderhill for their partnership, recognition, and commitment to advancing health equity. This proclamation marks a significant step in enhancing the well-being of Black men and families across South Florida.

At the Health Foundation, we’re proud to power this work through our Black Health Summit In Action —because every man deserves the chance to live a longer, healthier life.
