Message from the Director 3

It is with great pleasure I present the 2018/2019 Annual Report for the Florida Department of Health in Hillsborough County (DOH-Hillsborough). Significant contributions have been made toward improving the health of Florida's residents and visitors.

This report provides an overview of DOH-Hillsborough and highlights some of our services, accomplishments and community impact.

According to the 2019 County Health Rankings and Roadmaps tool released by the University of Wisconsin and the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, Hillsborough County is moving in the right direction. In 2011, the county ranked 30th in the state for health outcomes. We are now ranked 23rd in the state. We could not do it without our community partners.

DOH-Hillsborough is committed to being a model public health agency, continuously evolving to exceed the needs of our community, customers, and employees.

I am proud to lead a team of professionals who each day wholeheartedly demonstrate their devotion to public health.

We could not do it without our community partners...
