A Mission of Health Equity
Optimal health outcomes should be an attainable reality for all of us, regardless of our race, ethnicity, geography, or income. Too often, however, this is not the case, and the conditions in which we are born, grow, live, work, learn, and age serve to limit our health, functioning, and quality of life outcomes and risk. This is unacceptable and ultimately unsustainable. The Foundation for a Healthy St. Petersburg seeks to address health disparities, advance population health, and achieve health equity in Pinellas County.

We work to create a community in which all residents can lead healthy lives, regardless of race.
To do this, we advance racially equitable health outcomes in our community by improving the systems and conditions that shape them.
Vision
We envision a community in which good health allows all people to thrive.
Core Values
