How We Work

As a place-based private nonprofit foundation, we advance racially equitable health outcomes in our area by improving the social drivers that shape them. We lead, fund, partner, and advocate to improve health, change systems, and strengthen our community.

 

Research Reports

Problems are put into perspective by data. Equity data and analysis help illustrate the scale and impact of issues, can point to new connections, and ensure the solutions we invest in are doing the work they promised to do.

Center for Health Equity

Our Center for Health Equity invites people to learn, connect, and create together to change systems and strengthen our communities. We forge connections, foster dialogues, and support learning about the factors that shape our health.

Equitable regions—where everyone in the community is able to live a long, healthy life—are more prosperous, and experience stronger, more sustained growth. By investing in equity, Pinellas County helps build a more stable, resilient community that is more likely to experience lasting social and economic success.
