Healthy Start for Miami-Dade Students | Miami News

Miami-Dade County students kicked off the school year with a free, community-powered health and supply event designed to ensure every child is physically ready and academically equipped. Beyond routine physicals and sports exams, the second annual Back-to-School Physical Event introduced vital new services like EKG screenings for athletes and vision checks, all aimed at removing healthcare barriers. Led by Councilwoman Michelle Powell, a family physician who believes health is the foundation of learning, the event also featured a lively “shopping mall” where kids chose their own school supplies. Local organizations including the Black Nurses Association and Lions Club joined forces to make the day a success, proving that investing in student health isn’t just smart—it’s essential for a brighter future.
