1) healthcare access and quality, and 2) Behavioral health.
The Opioid Task Force of Pasco County is reviewing findings from the 2025 Community Health Needs Assessment (CHNA) concerning healthcare access, quality, and behavioral health. This review highlights significant gaps in primary care, mental health, and dental services, with Pasco County having fewer providers per resident than state and national averages. The assessment also details challenges in affording care, with about 10% of county residents lacking health insurance. Behavioral health data shows a high percentage of adults experiencing mentally unhealthy days and a critical shortage of mental health providers. Substance use among youth and adults, along with a rising rate of drug-related deaths, are also key concerns. The review is currently under consideration by the task force, indicating an early stage in the public process. This situation points to potential future needs for expanded healthcare facilities, increased provider services, and support programs. Local contractors, trades, suppliers, and service providers in healthcare, mental health, and related support services may find opportunities as these needs are addressed. Engaging early could provide an advantage before specific plans or bids are finalized.

The Opioid Task Force is reviewing its administrative cost policies for year two funding. This review involves discussions about allowing a five percent cap on administrative costs for projects funded through the task force.

The scope of work involves policy review, clarification seeking, and potential guideline amendments. Businesses involved in financial consulting, grant management, and administrative support services may find opportunities as the task force finalizes its policies.
