Friends of St. Lucie County Public Health, Inc.
The Friends of St. Lucie County Public Health, Inc. was incorporated on January 21, 2003. To promote, support and advance the vision and mission of the Florida Department of Health in St. Lucie County.
Vision: A Healthier Future for the People of St. Lucie County
Mission: To protect and promote the health of all residents and visitors in St. Lucie County.
Since our inception we have participated in supporting our health department as the need arose. We have filled needs as simple as providing boxed lunches at community meetings and as complex as authoring and administering foundation grants. Friends has responded to the HIV/AIDS, H1N1, and chronic disease crises in St. Lucie County and acted as fiscal agent for a number of innovative community startup organizations.
