The Business Advisory Board of the Healthy Start Coalition is a group of local business leaders who are invested in exchanging information that can improve the quality of their employees’ lives.  The members of the board bring their employees’ healthcare issues to the Coalition so that we can meet their needs at the workplace.  Members are instrumental in suggesting methods to reach the employees with education and information.

Advisory board members work with Community Liaisons, to develop materials, workshops and presentations, which target their employees.  All information is aimed at improving the health of children and families while decreasing the economic impact on insurance at the workplace.

With these goals in mind, the following businesses have joined the board:

• Caspers Company
• JP Morgan Chase
• School District of Hillsborough County
• Publix
• The Tampa Tribune
• Fowler White
• Florida Diagnostic Learning Resources Services
• Hillsborough Classroom Teachers Association
• TECO
• Child Care Licensing Department of Hillsborough County

The Business Advisory Board meets twice a year.
