A native of the Tampa Bay Area and longtime activist, Terence brings a passion for social justice tempered by a staunch determination to make a real impact on healthcare access and equity. Previously, Terence worked on the AOHE Initiative as a Program Assistant, helping to complete the oral health community assessment which included administering over a thousand surveys and conducting  half a dozen focus groups to stakeholders across the Bay Area.

 

Terence will spearhead the AOHE Initiative, part of the DentaQuest Foundation’s Oral Health 2020 Movement, as it moves into its second year. Informed by the results of the community assessment, TBHC has identified key focus areas to address service gaps and create new social norms around oral health in our community. Terence’s unique insights, gleaned through grassroots engagement with community partners and area residents, will bolster his personal devotion to the cause of health equity as we continue to help our members do what they do better in 2016!

 

Welcome to the team, Terence!

At TBHC, we’ve gone in a slightly different direction regarding our New Year’s Resolutions.  We want to “help you do what you do better”.  Our focus is all about increasing connections, expanding opportunities and providing more and better resources.

 

So, I am super excited to finally introduce you to the new TBHC website and the Collaborative’s new look.  We hope you’ll agree that the brandmark and website are both vibrant and engaging.  We believe it will give you – our members and partners something to rally around.  While developing the new brand, it was important to have the visual representation of the organization match the mission and goals set forth by TBHC in the minds of our members and partners alike.

 

The brandmark itself represents an overhead view of a round table with the four colored shapes representing the members. The members are equally collaborating at that the table with a focus to healthcare, represented by the cross that is made through negative space.  The colors have been chosen to represent the different organizations represented by our members, the cultural differences between those we are focused on helping and the different initiatives that TBHC has embarked upon.

 

Now, in true collaborative fashion, I have to be totally transparent and let you know – we need your help.  We’ve tried our best to work out all the bugs and kinks but it is possible that we didn’t catch everything.  Please take a little time to review our website and give us your feedback.  Drop us a line at info@tampabayhealth.org to share your thoughts.
