FPN Joint Meeting of Florida Education & Florida Health Funders

Join us for our joint meeting in August as we welcome Janisse Rosario Schoepp, MPH, PHD, Chief Strategy Officer at the Health Foundation of South Florida. 

Janisse will discuss the foundation's work establishing the South Florida Anchor Alliance (SFAA), a collaborative of 20 regional institutions, including healthcare systems, education enterprises, and municipalities that joined forces in 2019 to create a more robust South Florida economy through collective local procurement and workforce development initiatives.  

In 2024, the Health Foundation of South Florida, through the South Florida Anchor Alliance (SFAA), had over $3 million in active grants and program support, reaching close to 2,000 local and small businesses and providing more than 200 students with scholarships for health care related anchor jobs.
