History & Capabilities

CONTRACT WITH US TODAY!

The Northeast Florida Healthy Start Coalition and the St. Johns River Rural Health Network (SJRRHN)

The Health Planning Council of Northeast Florida provided fiscal administrative support and shared administrative services to both the Northeast Florida Healthy Start Coalition and the SJRRHN. To help further contain administrative costs and overhead, a HPC senior-level staff was allocated 30 percent of FTE status to serve as the lead administrator of the SJRRHN in lieu of hiring a full-time SJRRHN executive director. This model of shared resources not only provided financial savings, efficiency and stability for all three organizations, it also served as a viable collaborative alternative for non-profits during the lean economic time of 2008-2009.

“Our contract with the Health Planning Council provides us with access to qualified and experienced fiscal and support staff. This is incredibly cost-effective when compared to hiring our own staff directly. I think it is a model for non-profits of the future.” —Carol Brady, Executive Director of the Northeast Florida Healthy Start Coalition

Duval County Immunization Task Force

The Health Planning Council of Northeast Florida provides administrative and staff support to the Duval County Immunization Task Force. More than 50 stakeholders representing a variety of private and public partners come together each month to increase awareness of pediatric, adolescent and adult immunizations throughout Northeast Florida.

The Health Literacy Partnership of Volusia County

The Health Literacy Partnership of Volusia County was created under the leadership of the Volusia County Health Department and the O’Neil Foundation.

The Health Planning Council of Northeast Florida assisted the Coalition in developing its logo.

Child Guidance Center

We assisted the Child Guidance Center’s management staff and board of directors in their transition to a Balanced Scorecard Strategic Planning process. The Health Planning Council of Northeast Florida ensured the understanding of the ABCs of such a plan and assisted in building the evaluation scorecard.

Healthy Jacksonville Childhood Obesity Prevention Coalition

In partnership with the Duval County Health Department (DCHD), the Health Planning Council of Northeast Florida received $46,526 in seed funding from the Blue Foundation of Florida to coordinate local efforts to address the causes of obesity of children and their families and to expand and enhance current local efforts to address obesity prevention in Jacksonville. The Health Planning Council of Northeast Florida served as the fiduciary agent and helped facilitate the development of the Plan and expansion of the Coalition in conjunction with DCHD and the Childhood Obesity Prevention Coalition leader. The Coalition developed a Community Call to Action report that contains a plan for the community to address childhood obesity through a variety of sectors and spheres of influence. The Blue Foundation for a Healthy Florida has released additional funding opportunities through the calls to action detailed in this action plan.
