Community health care stakeholders recently gathered at St. Petersburg College’s Collaborative Labs to work with Dr. Claude Dharamraj, Director of the Pinellas County Department of Health, to develop the Pinellas County Community Health Improvement Plan for 2013-2017.
Among the many participants were community leaders:
- Beth Houghton, Executive Director, St. Pete Free Clinic
- Denise Kerwin, Director of Continuing Education, St. Petersburg College
- Gary Hendrickson, Health Information Technology Professional, Paperfree Free Florida USF Health
Working collaboratively through the morning resulted in a robust strategic plan consisting of 12 goals, assigned with champions, time frames and metrics in the areas of access to care, behavioral health, health promotion and disease prevention, and healthy communities and environments. The Collaborative Labs accelerated process made this possible in less than half a day.
