Creating a Health Equity Movement for Inclusive Economic Prosperity

In 2015, a new, place-based private foundation embraced an activist health equity mission in Pinellas County, Florida, just a generation after the segregation and discrimination of the Jim Crow era. After four years of listening within the community, the Foundation for a Healthy St. Petersburg is launching a social change incubator in order to provide space, technology, funding, information on advocacy, and other resources to support multisector efforts to achieve equity across the social determinants of health. This approach is helping the Foundation and community partners advance a comprehensive strategy for economic equity in a southern community with a legacy of racial injustice. Join us for lessons learned and provide input on the formation of the Pinellas Equity Center.
