Foundation for a Healthy St. Petersburg

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. This is unacceptable and ultimately unsustainable. The Foundation for a Healthy St. Petersburg seeks to address health disparities and create a community in which good health helps all people thrive.

We work to create a community in which all residents can lead healthy lives, regardless of race.
