In an effort to assist all seniors in Miami-Dade County, Commissioner Rebeca Sosa authored a resolution urging the U.S. Congress to pass legislation addressing the adverse effects of no Social Security Cost-of-Living Adjustment (COLA) for next year, coupled with likely increases in Medicare Part B premiums.

Commissioner Rebeca Sosa is partnering with the Miami-Dade County Health Department to offer the "Annual Flu and Pneumonia Vaccination Drive" for County residents.  Children from 6 months and up are eligible to receive immunizations, which will be administered at the Miami Springs Country Club, 650 Curtiss Parkway, in Miami Springs on Thursday, October 1, 2009 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.

In an effort to become a more sustainable community, go green and save taxpayers money, Commissioner Sosa is proud to  launch the District 6 newsletter in electronic format.

Commissioner Rebeca Sosa was appointed Chairperson of the County’s Performance and Efficiency Commission by Chairman Dennis C. Moss. The commission was created in order to identify inefficiencies in how departments run and to improve any processes for better service for residents.
