The Center for Health Equity is fueled by the Foundation for a Healthy St. Petersburg—an organization built on the belief that every person deserves a fair opportunity to live a long, healthy life, regardless of their race, ethnicity, income level, or gender identification. This is the idea of health equity and it requires moving obstacles to health, including systemic racism.
The Center for Health Equity is a dedicated space for equity work that creates cross-sector collaboration, fosters innovation and diversity, and invests in the wisdom of the community. The Center bridges groups of changemakers to fuel community-led solutions, spark action, and create meaningful social change.
