Senior SPOTLIGHT

When we think of a dedicated community advocate Debra Scialabba instantly comes to mind. She has been a Miramar resident since 1989 and has been a strong force in helping build the diverse and equitable community that Miramar is well known for today.

Debra’s involvement has been extensive and impactful. Debra served on the Miramar Civil Service Board Planning and Zoning Committee for almost 20 years, as a treasurer for Miramar’s United Neighbors Committee for over 10 years and Miramar’s Affordable Housing Committee for 3 years. Debra currently serves as a volunteer at Miramar’s Police East Substation and was recently honored for her exemplary service.

In addition to her rigorous volunteer schedule, Debra finds the time to promote Miramar senior services and all the great activities offered to seniors for free. She can always be counted on to have a stack of the quarterly publication “Voice of Ages” and monthly program schedule to distribute to local seniors urging them to join one of our vibrant centers. As a retired nurse Debra knows firsthand the benefits of being a member of the Southcentral/Southeast Focal Point. She participates in many Health and Wellness groups and the unique Evidence Based programming offered here in Miramar.

Debra is not only a community advocate, a senior advocate, and a Health and Wellness advocate, she is a proponent of positive thoughtful progress. We are so thankful for Debra and all the amazing work she does here in Miramar.
