Lauderhill proclaims "Move with the Mayor" health initiative; Broward Health mobile clinics to start weekly in January

Mayor Denise Grant presented a proclamation on Oct. 27 recognizing the City of Lauderhill’s participation in the national Move with the Mayor health initiative. City Manager Kenny Hobbs and Parks and Recreation Director Scott Newton described a planned January rollout of weekly Broward Health mobile clinics that will operate at neighborhood parks and host a kickoff at the Embraer Community Center.

"We are partnering with Broward Health. We will have mobile health clinics that actually come out in, for a 2 year period on a weekly basis to provide health services at various parks throughout our community," City Manager Kenny Hobbs said, describing services including blood‑pressure checks, vitals and basic health reviews.

Parks Director Scott Newton thanked staff members who run fitness and senior programs and said the parks department will expand physical and mental‑health programming in January. The proclamation also highlighted long‑running senior activities such as chair yoga, stretch and breathe classes, pickleball and silver games.

Commissioners and department leaders said the initiative complements Lauderhill University and other civic outreach and that the city will continue to coordinate with community partners, including the National League of Cities, to promote resident participation.
