More of South Pinellas residents experience bad health conditions when compared to other parts of the county and the state. We’ve seen this in communities like: Palmetto Park, Child’s Park, Jordan Park, Methodist Town, Melrose Mercy, Pine Acres, Cromwell Heights, Thirteenth Street Heights, Twinbrooks, Clam Bayou, Harbordale, Bartlett Park, and the Greater Pinellas Point neighborhoods.

​

These problems have gotten worse because communities of color in Pinellas have less access to health care and use preventative care less.

​

This has to change and can change. To fix the problem we need to better understand all of the things keeping people from getting and staying healthy.
