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. 159 Commission Memorandum Page2 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 Elementary, North Beach Elementary and Ruth K.
