Slated to open in the latter part of 2018, CAC's new Little Havana Medical Center, being built adjacent to its existing location, will offer the same high quality comprehensive primary and specialty care for seniors but will also feature new, advanced medical equipment, as well as onsite dental services and a wellness and activities center.

"Our new CAC Little Havana Medical Center will solidify our commitment to this community and ensure that we continue to offer best-in-class primary and specialty services for our patients."

CAC's new Little Havana facility will offer its patients services such as an on-site pharmacy, "CAC Fit" (Rehabilitation maintenance program), "La Buena Vida" (Physical and Rehabilitation Therapy), dental, optical and walk-in/extended hours and weekend medical services. The center will cater to the following specialties: cardiology, dermatology, endocrinology, gastroenterology, gynecology, neurology, ophthalmology, optometry, orthopedic, orthopedic surgeon, pediatrics, podiatry and urology.

About CAC-Florida Medical Centers

CAC-Florida Medical Centers is a subsidiary of health and well-being company Humana Inc. The first CAC medical center opened its doors to Miami-Dade County's Hispanic population in 1964 under the name ClĂ­nica AsociaciĂłn Cubana. CAC holds the distinction of being Florida's first managed care facilities granted a license to operate as a health maintenance organization (HMO) as a result of the Congressional HMO Act of 1973. Today, the CAC brand is recognized throughout South and Central Florida for its commitment to members of the communities it serves and the provision of high quality, readily accessible health care.

The centers operate in a staff model setting whereby routine medical and ancillary health care services are provided in "One Place" and orchestrated by primary care physicians. This type of health care delivery is familiar to many CAC patients of Hispanic origin who grew up around the staff model setting in their native countries before migrating to South Florida. Today, the company operates full-service, multi-specialty medical centers in Miami-Dade, Orlando and Tampa to serve a culturally diverse Medicare and Medicaid patient base.
