South Florida Anchor Alliance Releases 2024 Year In Review

The South Florida Anchor Alliance (SFAA), an initiative of the Health Foundation of South Florida, is 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. The SFAA is a key pillar to advancing the Health Foundation’s strategy to increasing economic well-being, and we remain steadfast in our commitment to furthering the collective vision set back then by all partners.

Reflecting on the past year, we are proud of our collective achievements in fostering a more thriving South Florida. In 2024, the Health Foundation of South Florida, through the SFAA, had over $3 million in active grants and program support, reaching nearly 2,000 local and small businesses and providing more than 200 students with scholarships for healthcare-related anchor jobs. We remain committed to accelerating connections between procurement opportunities and local, small businesses. At the upcoming May Strategic Planning Workshop, we look forward to sharing progress, discussing opportunities, and strategizing to further our mission. Alongside these efforts, we remain focused on building a strong talent pipeline to ensure the region’s workforce is prepared to meet the evolving job demands of the anchors.

Thank you for your continued support and dedication to our shared mission.

Together, we are making a lasting impact on our community.
