United HomeCare® (UHC), a leader and pioneer of home and community-based care and 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization serving South Florida’s older adults, disabled adults, and family caregivers since 1973 helping seniors to age in place at-home with dignity, celebrated its milestone 30th Anniversary of the Claude Pepper Awards luncheon on May 16, 2025.
Over 350 community leaders, healthcare professionals and dignitaries gathered in honor of the 2025 Claude Pepper Award recipients, the event’s 30th Anniversary, and the 125th Anniversary of Senator Claude D. Pepper’s birth.
