Health Council of South Florida

What Health Council of South Florida does

Health Council of South Florida (HCSF) is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, state-legislated health planning organization established in 1974 under Florida Statute 408.033, one of eleven local health councils coordinating health services planning across the state. Headquartered in Miami (Doral), Florida, HCSF operates as the state-appointed data steward for District 11 (Miami-Dade and Monroe counties) and serves as a neutral source of community health information for healthcare providers, government agencies, and community organizations. The organization employs approximately 10 staff led by President & CEO Nicole A. Marriott, MBA.

HCSF's core offerings span six service lines: Data & Health Planning Analysis, Evaluation Services, HIV/AIDS Program Services (including a 25+ year AIDS Insurance Continuation Program across 15 community-based organizations, HOPWA housing assistance, Ryan White clinical quality management, and Ending the HIV Epidemic initiatives), Program Management & Administration, the HCSF Online Report System subscription platform, and Training Facilitation (including RESTORE Disaster Preparedness Training). The flagship commercial product is the HCSF Online Report System — a web-based subscription service delivering hospital and nursing home utilization data for District 11 with a 6-month lead over the Agency for Health Care Administration's (AHCA) public release and historical trend data back to 2009. Pricing is publicly disclosed at $1,250 annually for the first subscriber within a hospital system and $250 for each additional subscriber. HCSF also administers the Southeast Florida Cancer Control Collaborative (SFCCC), a voluntary coalition across 8 Southeast Florida counties established in 2001 with CDC funding.

Revenue is generated through four primary streams: government contracts and grants (CDC, Florida Department of Health, HUD, AHCA, Ryan White/HOPWA federal programs), subscription fees from hospital and nursing home subscribers, contracted service fees for data analysis and program evaluation, and event sponsorships (Platinum $2,500 through Exhibitor $250 tiers for annual health fairs). No proprietary technology stack or AI/ML capabilities are disclosed; the organization's technical footprint centers on data management, analysis, and a web-based reporting platform. Marketing and outreach occur primarily through organic social channels (Facebook, LinkedIn, X, YouTube), publications (annual District Health Profiles), webinars, and community events rather than paid advertising.

Recent moves6 records

Expansion highlights5 records

Broad incumbents

• Public Health Management Corporation (PHMC): A large Pennsylvania-based nonprofit public health institute that combines research, program evaluation, direct service delivery, and community health planning. A structural analog to HCSF with substantially greater scale and broader service lines.
• Vizient (formerly Sg2): A large healthcare intelligence and analytics company serving hospitals and health systems with utilization, market, and strategic planning data. Operates as a commercial incumbent analog to HCSF's subscription data services.
• Cicatelli Associates Inc. (CAI): A national nonprofit focused on public health training, capacity building, and program management for federally funded HIV/AIDS, sexual and reproductive health, and community health initiatives. Closely comparable to HCSF in its Ryan White/HIV program administration work.

Direct peers

• WellFlorida Council: North central Florida's designated local health council under Florida Statute 408.033, providing community health needs assessments, data analysis, and program evaluation across a 16-county service area. Direct functional overlap with HCSF's data and planning services.
• Health Council of Southwest Florida: Another of Florida's 11 state-created local health councils, covering Lee, Collier, Charlotte, Hendry, Glades, and Desoto counties. Operates the same combination of community health needs assessment, data reporting, and public health program administration as HCSF.
• Health Planning Council of Northeast Florida / Health Council of West Central Florida: Florida's West Central local health council under the same statutory framework, covering Hillsborough, Pinellas, Pasco, Polk, Manatee, Hardee, and Highlands counties. Mirrors HCSF's mandate and service mix of community health data, evaluation, and program administration.
• Northeast Florida Health Planning Council: One of Florida's 11 state-designated health planning councils serving Baker, Clay, Duval, Flagler, Nassau, Putnam, St. Johns, and Volusia counties. Performs community health needs assessments and program evaluation analogous to HCSF's District 11 work.
• Health Council of Southeast Florida: A fellow Florida local health council created under the same Florida Statute 408.033 statutory framework that created HCSF, serving Palm Beach, Martin, St. Lucie, Indian River, and Okeechobee counties. Performs the same data steward, community health planning, and program administration functions across an adjacent geography.

Others

• Agency for Health Care Administration (AHCA): Florida's state agency that produces the hospital and nursing home utilization data that HCSF repackages and distributes. Functions as a critical data upstream/regulator relative to HCSF, not a direct competitor.

Emerging players

• Stratis Decision Sciences: A smaller healthcare utilization and quality analytics firm serving hospitals and post-acute providers. Represents a potential commercial competitor in the same data subscription category where HCSF's HCSF Online Report System currently competes on local-market depth and statutory advantages.
