Who We Are

At Little Havana Activities & Nutrition Centers of Dade County, Inc. ("LHANC"), our goal is to enhance the lives of elderly individuals in our community through tailored health, nutrition, and social services. By offering congregate meal sites, adult day care, medical services, and home interventions, we strive to promote their well-being and out-of-home independence.

Our Mission

Our mission at Little Havana Activities & Nutrition Centers of Dade County, Inc. ("LHANC") is to identify the need and procure the funding necessary to provide low-income, frail, and isolated seniors with high-quality social, nutritional, and health services — allowing them to continue remaining safely in their own homes with appropriate support, thereby preventing early and more costly institutionalization.
