October 14, 2025

Florida PACE Centers is more than a health plan and medical care. It is a place where South Florida seniors can share stories, make new friends, and truly feel at home.

FLORIDA PACE CENTERS WESTCHESTER

Participants at Florida PACE Centers Westchester were treated to a magical “Enchanted Farewell to Summer” celebration. The site was transformed into a wonderland with themed areas including magical mermaids, graceful fairies, and a special yeti “snow” zone – showcasing the incredible creativity of the Florida PACE Centers Westchester team. The event was filled with laughter as participants enjoyed snow cones and cotton candy, and engaged in fun-filled games to mark the end of the summer season.

The celebration was not only a source of joy and entertainment but also a testament to the progress participants make through their therapeutic activities. As Occupational Therapist Jennifer Saldarriaga noted, “It’s inspiring to see our participants enjoying events like the Enchanted Farewell to Summer after working so hard in therapy. Celebrations like this show how their progress helps them fully take part in meaningful and joyful experiences.”

FLORIDA PACE CENTERS MIAMI

Florida PACE Centers Miami proudly celebrated its second graduation ceremony for the Healthy Hearts program, honoring participants who dedicated themselves to improving their health through exercise and education. With balloons, banners, and various treats, the ceremony recognized graduates who strengthened their hearts, boosted their Heart Rate Reserve, and took meaningful steps toward long-term wellness. For some, it was their very first graduation, making the moment of donning a cap and gown and receiving a certificate of completion especially meaningful and emotional.

Reflecting on the day, Wilkins Melian, Recreational Therapist, shared: “It was wonderful to celebrate our Healthy Hearts graduates. Seeing the pride and joy on their faces as they wore their caps and gowns made the moment truly unforgettable.”
