Belmont Village Senior Living, an esteemed senior living developer, owner and operator, and Baptist Health South Florida, South Florida's largest health care organization, celebrated their landmark partnership at the ribbon cutting ceremony for Belmont Village Senior Living Coral Gables, Miami's newest luxury senior living community.

"Our partnership with Baptist Health, which was formed in 2019, showcases the future of senior living," said Will. "It serves as a perfect example of how novel approaches and collaborations between best-in-class health care companies can help community members achieve optimal health as they age. Through thoughtful design, our communities integrate everything seniors need, from cognitive programming to our signature 24/7 health and wellness support. The Baptist Health collaboration takes that to the next level at our Coral Gables community, as the Live Healthy center will integrate clinical support into seniors' daily lives."
