It¹s the city famous for bikinis, beaches, Cubans, retirees and the South Beach Diet. This vibrant Caribbean hub is also home to new immigrants -­ more than 50% of the population is foreign born, the only county in the country with this distinction. In this international community, you¹ll find immigrants from Mexico and Jamaica, Colombia and Cuba along with the latest arrivals – Germans, Canadians, and English retirees.

Healthcare in Miami is every bit as diverse as its vibrant population. You¹ll find it all – from New Age guru Deepak Chopra speaking at the inauguration of the University of Miami’s Comprehensive Cancer Center’s wellness center to exercise boot camp for 75-year-old guys and plastic surgery for 40-year-old guys. Miami truly mixes it up!
