Healthy Hillsborough Collaborative
The MAPP 2.0 Process focuses on engaging with multiple people, groups, and organizations to gain a unique perspective on conditions impacting health, where we live, work, learn, play, and age. This is a community-driven model led by partners, under the name Healthy Hillsborough.
Healthy Hillsborough was formed in October 2015 as a collaboration between DOH–Hillsborough, Florida Hospital, Moffitt Cancer Center, St. Joseph's Hospitals and South Florida Baptist Hospital, Shriner’s Hospital for Children-Tampa, Suncoast Community Health Centers, Tampa Family Health Centers, and Tampa General Hospital.
Healthy Hillsborough was established to complete a comprehensive Community Health Assessment (CHA)/Community Health Needs Assessment (CHNA) and to identify opportunities for collaboration to collectively impact and improve the health of Hillsborough County. In 2023, the collaborative expanded to include local community-based organizations working across many sectors of public health, including: early learning, parks and recreation, domestic violence, transportation, homelessness, food security, and others.
Healthy Hillsborough also includes a broader collaborative of community partners who have helped to determine the top health priorities based on primary and secondary data collected in our community, and who have participated in the development of the current Community Health Improvement Plan.
CHIP Priority Areas
The three Priority Areas identified in 2019 by Healthy Hillsborough for the County are behavioral health, access to health services, and exercise, nutrition, and weight.
The All4HealthFL collaborative, formed in 2018, is collectively addressing behavioral health priorities. The remaining areas are being addressed through the implementation plans described in the CHIP, developed by the Florida Department of Health in Hillsborough County and members of the Healthy Hillsborough Collaborative.
