Executive coordination authority — the Mayor's Office convenes the health and human-services function directly; budget and agreements may require Council, and legal review is required.
The problem
Tampa's health and human services are scattered across agencies, nonprofits and county offices that barely talk to each other. Residents bounce between doors, repeat their stories, and fall through the cracks — while City Hall has nobody whose job is to connect it all.
The plan
The Mayor's Office stands up a real health and human-services coordinating function — one door that connects the city's efforts with county agencies, nonprofits and licensed providers.
This is coordination, not a new bureaucracy: the city does not create a municipal health department, and licensed providers deliver regulated care. Legal review and partner agreements come first, with budget items going to Council.
How you’ll know it’s working
- HHS coordinating function established
- Partner coordination agreements signed
- Service-navigation improvements tracked
- Resident feedback on the experience
From the Blueprint
- HHS defines eligibility, priority use cases, and referral logic across the connected health access system.
- Coordinates hospitals and clinics across the transit, navigation, pharmacy, and data pillars.
- Annual review with hospital, clinic, and community partners resets targets and refines programs.
