Our Mission
Every great movement begins the same way.
A small group of women who decide they’re no longer willing to wait for change — they’re ready to create it.
Tampa Female Physicians was born from that spark. We are a nonprofit organization of women physicians who believe that when women rise, entire communities rise with them.
Across hospitals, clinics, medical schools, and neighborhoods in Tampa Bay, our members lead with heart, purpose, and a shared commitment to giving back.
But we also know something else. Women in medicine carry an enormous load—professionally, emotionally, and personally.
For years, female physicians have navigated leadership gaps, inequities in opportunity, burnout, and the challenge of balancing caregiving with careers.
TFP exists to change that story.
Our mission is to empower women physicians at every stage of their journey and to channel our collective strength into meaningful impact for women and children in our community.
Through six core pillars, we transform passion into action:
1.
Elevating Women in Leadership
We build the next generation of physician leaders by providing mentorship, leadership development, and access to high-level training that women are often left out of. We open doors — and hold them open for those behind us.
2.
Supporting Future Women in Medicine
We invest in medical students, residents, and fellows so they can dream big, rise boldly, and pursue careers in medicine without barriers.
3.
Empowering Women Physicians in Practice
We create a safe, uplifting community where women physicians can find support, advocacy, professional guidance, and wellness resources to thrive in demanding environments.
4.
Serving the Tampa Bay Community
We believe medicine extends far beyond the hospital walls. Our members volunteer, educate, mentor, and show up for local families with a special focus on underserved women and children who need us most.
5.
Building National Partnerships
By connecting with global groups like FemHealth and women physician organizations across the country, we strengthen our collective voice and bring national innovation home to Tampa.
6.
Giving Back Through Philanthropy
Each year, our gala and fundraising initiatives support charities that uplift women and children.
Every dollar raised creates real change meeting essential needs, expanding programs, and strengthening the community we love.
Why Your Support Matters
When you donate to Tampa Female Physicians, you’re not just giving to a nonprofit.
You’re investing in:
A pipeline of strong female leaders in medicine
A healthier future for Tampa’s women and children
Educational advancement for young women entering the medical field
A community of physicians who serve with compassion and purpose
A movement that will shape healthcare for generations for women
Your support becomes part of our story — a story of women lifting women, physicians strengthening families, and a community coming together to build something bigger than any one of us.
Together, we can create a future where every woman physician has the opportunity to lead, every girl dreaming of medicine has a path forward, and every family in Tampa feels the impact of our work.
This is more than a mission.
It’s a legacy.
And we invite you to be part of it.
