What it reported doing in 2025

Statement 3: The SISI Hosted National Healthcare Access Initiative and Collaborative Transportation Think TankOn December 5, 2025, The SISI convened the inaugural Collaborative Transportation Think Tank Summit in Jacksonville, Florida, on the campus of Florida Blue, bringing together 42 national, regional, and local organizations representing healthcare systems, transportation providers, government agencies, philanthropy, community organizations, insurers, and strategic partners to address one of the nation's most persistent barriers to healthcare: transportation access for uninsured and underinsured patients. The Jacksonville Nonprofit Hospital Partnership was primary sponsor and included Mayo Clinic, University of Florida Health, Baptist, Ascension and Brooks Rehabilitation. Conceived, designed, and led by Terry W. Spicer, Founder and Executive Director of The SISI, the Summit advanced a first-of-its-kind collaborative framework focused on improving equitable access to healthcare through coordinated transportation infrastructure rather than isolated transportation services. With years of experience in the industry, The SISI addressed barriers affecting patients across the continuum of care, including preventive services, specialty care, chronic disease management, cancer treatment, behavioral health, rehabilitation, and other essential medical services. The Summit served as a strategic forum for cross-sector collaboration, systems planning, and the development of sustainable solutions designed to reduce missed medical appointments, improve health outcomes, strengthen community partnerships, and advance healthcare equity. Participating organizations engaged in collaborative planning around innovative models that leverage existing transportation assets, healthcare resources, public-private partnerships, and data-informed decision-making to create long-term systemic change.As a direct outcome of this initiative, The SISI developed a pioneering Mobility Health Infrastructure Model that is scheduled for implementation in Jacksonville during 2026. The demonstration project is designed to serve as a scalable national model that can be replicated in communities across the United States, positioning The SISI as a national leader in advancing innovative, collaborative solutions that improve healthcare access for underserved populations. This initiative reflects The SISI's continued commitment to addressing complex social determinants of health through strategic leadership, public policy innovation, cross-sectorInternal Usecollaboration, and community-centered systems change that benefits patients, healthcare providers, and communities alike. Our vendors for this event included FLK International Catering, Florida Blue, Bracy Photography, Balloon Construction and Events and others. It was a smashing success and gamechanger that will impact patients for years to come.
