School supplies to Hillsborough County teachers donated by HCA Florida South Tampa Hospital

Tampa, FL — HCA Florida South Tampa Hospital is proud to announce the success of its recent “We Show Up for Our Schools” supply drive, benefiting students of hospital colleagues and the Hillsborough Education Foundation’s Tampa Bay School Supply Drive. Thanks to the incredible generosity of hospital colleagues, the South and West Tampa Hospital teams collected and donated an impressive 1,650 essential school supplies to help local educators stock their classrooms and supply students with the tools they need to succeed.     

“We believe that caring for a community extends beyond the walls of our hospitals,” said Ned Hill, CEO of South Tampa and West Tampa Hospitals.  “It is an honor to support the important work of the Hillsborough Education Foundation by helping ensure that children and families have the school supplies they need to start the year with confidence and success.  We are proud to stand alongside the Foundation in their mission and remain committed to making a positive difference in the lives of those we serve.” 

The Hillsborough Education Foundation provides free classroom materials to Hillsborough County educators and their students, helping bridge the gap between limited school budgets and student needs.  South Tampa Hospital’s contribution will directly impact classrooms across the county.
