KEY WEST, Fla. (October 31, 2025) – Lower Keys Medical Center, Community Health of South Florida, Inc. (CHI) and Florida Department of Health – Monroe County are recognizing World Diabetes Day by hosting a community event focused on health, wellness, disease prevention and community connection.
​
On November 14, 2025, the public is invited to stop in to the Community Health of South Florida, Inc. Key West Health Center at 727 Fort Street in Key West from 11 am – 3 pm and enjoy light snacks, tours of the CHI facility, interactive health activities, free health screenings including blood pressure and glucose testing, nutrition presentations, prizes, giveaways, and free gifts cards courtesy of CHI, while supplies last.
 
“According to the American Diabetes Association, diabetes affects more than 38 million adults and children in the U.S., and is the 7th leading cause of death,” said Marianne Finizio, Vice President of Community Relations and Business Development for CHI. “We wanted to host a fun community outreach event where residents could also learn how to take charge of their health through preventive care, healthy habits, and knowledge about diabetes and early detection.”
 
Lower Keys Medical Center recently made a donation to Community Health of South Florida to support its community outreach efforts and contribute to the health of the community. “We respect and support the outreach and education that CHI provides,” said Drew Bigby, CEO of Lower Keys Medical Center. “This collaboration with CHI, Florida Health, and other healthcare organizations helps us fulfill our mission to help people get well and live healthier.”
