Racial discrimination has a wide-ranging and enduring legacy in Pinellas County, Florida. Across the social determinants of health—like education, housing, access to medical care and healthy food, employment and wealth-building opportunities—institutions and systems are embedded with structural racism that disadvantages and harms African American people.
The result is profound racial disparities in health, lifespan, and quality of life. Research tells us that stress, disease and other repercussions of discrimination, poverty, and lack of fair access to resources and opportunity take their toll on individual health at an alarming rate.
If we want a community that is healthier, fairer, more prosperous and more humane, race equity must be a priority—now! The Foundation for a Healthy St. Petersburg embraces a mission of race equity as the surest means of achieving health equity and improved population health overall.
