Public Health & Disability Services

Expand mobile health access, reduce maternal and infant disparities, back school nurses, create a Mental Health Access Fund, grow crisis-response teams, and build a fully funded Office of Disability Services.

Florida did not expand Medicaid, school-based clinical staffing remains an OCPS authority, and harm-reduction tools such as naloxone distribution operate under state oversight.

The city can stand up the disability office, audit accessibility, fund providers, and support mobile health pilots. The harder promises depend on insurers, schools, and state-controlled public-health policy.

She has advocated for Medicaid expansion and mental-health funding, with several appropriations later vetoed by the governor, including Pulse-survivor mental-health funding.

Fund community-based providers, expand crisis-response and accessibility work, and treat school nurses and broader coverage expansion as partnership asks rather than unilateral city deliverables.
