A Mission of Health Equity
Not everyone in Pinellas County is able to attain their highest level of health and well-being. Too often, the place where a person is born, grows, lives, works, learns, or ages contains impediments stemming from entrenched social or demographic factors such as race, gender, personal attribute, income, or geography. 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.
Mission
We achieve health equity through racial equity by listening humbly, learning fearlessly, and leading courageously to impact systems change.
Vision
Every person equitably achieves optimal health and well-being.
Core Values
Transparency
The Foundation will operate in full disclosure of our plans, actions, transactions, our investments, relationships, and our partnerships throughout the community.
Equity
We believe that all residents deserve to lead full, happy and healthy lives regardless of race, ethnicity, income, geography, or gender identification.
Collaboration
We embrace the value of bringing people together to cultivate trust. When collaboration and coordination are strong, we achieve more together.
Listen & Learn
We respect the deep wisdom of our community about their own health needs. We listen and share what we learn, striving for continuous improvement.
Evidence Informed
Research and ongoing assessments help ensure our actions are based on data-driven needs and evidence-based outcomes.
Inclusive
We embrace all members of our community, particularly those who are not often included.
Engaged
We engage the corporate, public, private and nonprofit sectors to improve community health.
Lead
We lead with data, policies, health messages and funding. We work to leverage additional private and philanthropic resources to benefit the community.
Compel Action
As an unbiased and unfettered community resource, the Foundation will take bold action to promote equity and optimize health.
