What More Health does

MORE HEALTH, Inc. is a nonprofit 501(c)(3) organization founded in 1989 and headquartered at 3821 Henderson Boulevard in Tampa, Florida. The organization delivers interactive health and safety education lessons — covering injury prevention, safety, nutrition, personal health, dental health, and disease prevention — directly into K-12 classrooms across the Tampa Bay area at no cost to school districts. Its core product consists of more than 30 trained-instructor-led lessons for grades K-12, complemented by a Virtual Learning Center (online mini-lessions for remote access), SuperSitter babysitting courses for ages 11-15, Professional Development for educators, and an e-commerce shop selling educational kits, dental puppets, and printable PDF resources. The organization also offers Custom Educational Kit Development and Train-the-Trainer services to businesses, hospitals, school districts, and government agencies.

The business model is fundamentally a subsidized donation-and-grant-funded nonprofit rather than a commercial operation. Programs delivered to schools are free of charge; revenue (such as it is) is sourced from local businesses, private foundations, state and federal grants (including Florida Safe Routes to School), and institutional partners. Tampa General Hospital (founding partner since 1993) and Johns Hopkins All Children's Hospital (partner since 2006) are the two anchor hospital partners providing sustained funding and credibility, supported by a broader coalition of more than 20 sponsors including the Allstate Foundation, Tampa Bay Rays, Lightning Foundation, OneBlood, and Hillsborough County Sheriff's Office. The shop channel is a minor revenue line at best, with small-dollar kit sales and a $6 USPS shipping handling fee per order.

MORE HEALTH has reached over 4.7 million school-aged children cumulatively since 1989 and approximately 210,000 lives annually. Operations are concentrated in Hillsborough, Pinellas, and Pasco counties with a growing state-level Florida bicycle and pedestrian safety program. Leadership consists of Executive Director Karen Pesce Buckenheimer, R.N., and Board of Directors President Cindy Rose. The organization is small (11-50 employees) and dependent on the persistence of its donor coalition and grant pipeline for continued funding of its mission-driven delivery model.
