A partnership between the local health department and a university will help create tens of thousands of Miami government jobs.
The Miami-Dade County Health Department and Florida International University are teaming up to create the state’s first Academic Health Sciences Center. As part of the effort, the health department will consolidate its administrative and program offices, currently housed at eight locations, at FIU’s Modesto A. Maidique Campus.
“Through this partnership, we can cut costs and become a more efficient department,” MDCHD Administrator Lillian Rivera said in a press release.
