Foundation for a Healthy St. Petersburg

About Foundation for a Healthy St. Pete

The Foundation for a Healthy St. Petersburg is a private, nonprofit foundation working to advance racially equitable health outcomes by improving the systems and conditions that shape them. We convene, lead, scale, and fund critical work to eliminate racial disparities, change systems, and strengthen our community.

“St. Petersburg has been experiencing a renaissance like no other. We are a city on the rise; we have been for some time and will continue to be well into the future. I’ve said before that while we are conditioned to celebrate the harvest, the time of planting is what requires our greatest focus. We have been blessed not only with natural abundance and good fortune but by wise leadership that has planned with purpose for our progress. We must continue to nurture the seeds they planted so that all members of our community may reap the benefits of opportunity that so many of us enjoy.”
