ANALYSIS
The mission of the Health Foundation of South Florida (HFSF) is to improve the health
status of people in Broward, Miami-Dade and Monroe Counties. By funding providers and
supporting programs to promote health and prevent disease, HFSF makes measurable and
sustainable differences in the health and well-being of individuals and families.
Since its inception in 2001, the Miami Beach Chamber of Commerce's Education
Foundation (Miami Beach Education Foundation) has focused on bringing together the
strengths and resources of the community to support the needs of public education. The
Miami Beach Education Foundation has a strong history of supporting public education,
including providing scholarships to graduating seniors and programming costs for the
International Baccalaureate Programs. Over $100,000 in programming and scholarship
support has already been provided.
The goal of this project is to ensure basic health services are provided by a registered
professional nurse and/or a Health Connect in Our Schools Health Suite in three schools in
the Miami Beach feeder pattern. The three schools are Treasure Island Elementary, North
Beach Elementary, and Ruth K. Broad Bay Harbor K-8 Center. Of the eight Miami Dade
County Public Schools that fall within the City of Miami Beach feeder pattern, there is Health
Connect in Our Schools Suites (HCiOS) in five of them; the students at Treasure Island
Elementary, North Beach Elementary and Ruth K. Broad Bay Harbor K-8 Center do not
receive basic health care services and there are no health providers available at these
school sites; currently all medical issues are dealt with as emergencies. The population at
the three underserved schools is similar to all other schools in the Miami Beach feeder
pattern. The total number of students proposed to be served under this grant is
approximately 2,972 youth.

The project is a collaborative partnership between the Miami Beach Chamber of Commerce
Education Foundation, the Children's Trust, Miami Dade County Public Schools, Miami-
Dade County Health Department and the City of Miami Beach. The applicant and grant
recipient will be the Miami Beach Education Foundation, it is proposed that the Children's
Trust will contract with a provider to provide the services in the schools; the City will provide
assistance as needed in application preparation and planning. As the Department of Health
is the authority for school health programs and the Miami-Dade County Health Department is
partner to the Children's Trust in HCiOS, they will also be a partner in this application. The
project supports the key intended outcome: enhance learning opportunities for youth.
CONCLUSION
The Administration requests approval to authorize the City Manager or her designee to
support a grant application from the Miami Beach Chamber of Commerce's Education
Foundation (Miami Beach Education Foundation), with the Miami Beach Education
Foundation serving as the applicant and the City of Miami Beach as a partner, to the Health
Foundation of South Florida for funding in the approximate amount of $200,000, for a full
time registered nurse (or equivalent services) to provide services at Treasure Island
