Hillsborough County is asking for residents' input. By taking the survey, the county will have a better understanding of what residents already know about COVID-19, testing access, and how to best get the word out to residents who need more information. Please take time for this survey.

AmazonSmile is a website operated by Amazon with the same products, prices, and shopping features as Amazon.com. The difference is that when you shop on AmazonSmile, the AmazonSmile Foundation will donate 0.5% of the purchase price of eligible products to the charitable organization of your choice.
We hope that you would choose the South Seminole Heights Civic Association as the beneficiary of your increased shopping habits! By doing so you support the local community, neighborhood improvement projects, special events and charitable giving of your local neighborhood association!

Thank you!
Your SSHCA Board
Our association would like to say THANK YOU to Steve Swiger, who has worked tirelessly as the Vice President of the SSHCA over the last 3+ years. Steve and his family have been South Seminole Heights residents for 22 years, but the time has come for them to move closer to family. Steve has mad a major impact on our association overseeing our committee chairs, executing the recent car show, raising money for Broward Elementary School and being a voice for our residents.
We can't show enough appreciation and gratitude to Steve for the friendships he has fostered and the leadership he has shown as a board member. You have been a great example to all of our residents!
Below is a message from Steve as he starts the next chapter with his family:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
"It is with a heavy heart that I have tendered my resignation as Vice President of the SSHCA today as we have sold our home and moved out of the neighborhood.
The past three and a half years as a member of the Executive Board have been, by and large, a wonderful experience and I appreciate the friendships that have been made and the commitment I have seen from so many to this wonderful neighborhood. It has been our home for 22 years and the only home my boys have ever known. Our decision to move out of the neighborhood was a difficult one, and we will miss the neighbors, parks, and restaurants as well as our house. However, we still have family and great friends in the neighborhood and will not be strangers.
Thank you for the opportunity and your confidence to serve along side the amazing SSHCA board, and thank you especially to Stephen for his continued leadership.
Best Regards to all of you, Stay Safe, Stay Well, and I look forward to seeing you soon!"
Thank you Steve for all you did for us!!
You are the best!
Steve, I am really proud of you son!

Hillsborough County Offering 3 New COVID-19 Testing Sites
Residents must first schedule an appointment by calling (813) 272-5900
Hillsborough County, Fla. (April 20, 2020) – In an effort to make COVID-19 coronavirus testing as convenient as possible to all residents, Hillsborough County will open three additional testing sites Wednesday.
The additional locations are:
Lee Davis Community Resource Center, 3402 N. 22nd St., Tampa
Plant City Community Resource Center, 307 N. Michigan Ave., Plant City
SouthShore Community Resource Center, 201 14th Ave. SE, Ruskin
As is the case at the current testing site at Raymond James Stadium, pre-screening and pre-registration are required. Testing will be administered to individuals with symptoms related to COVID-19 that have pre-registered and have scheduled an appointment through Hillsborough County’s call center at (813) 272-5900. The call center is open weekdays from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.
Raymond James Stadium remains open as a testing site. The three additional locations will make COVID-19 coronavirus testing more convenient for residents throughout Hillsborough County. The three new sites will offer drive-through testing, but a vehicle is not required as long as the resident has pre-registered and scheduled an appointment.
Pre-Screening and Pre-Registration Are Required:
Residents may get tested if they are symptomatic and have been pre-screened by calling through the Hillsborough County call center at (813) 272-5900 on weekdays from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.
There is NO CHARGE for the test administered at Hillsborough County locations.
Residents are NOT REQUIRED to have health insurance to get tested.
Should a test be scheduled for you, you will be informed of time, date, and testing location during this call.
What to Bring:
Personal vehicles MUST BE under the maximum height of 8 feet.
Limit vehicle passengers to those needing a test.
Have a photo ID with name and date of birth for all persons being tested (can be Florida driver’s license, state-issued ID, or passport).
Bring the CORRECT confirmation code provided by the call center; this can be a printed copy of the testing confirmation email received from the call center, a screen-shot of the confirmation number, or the code may be provided verbally. A printed code or screen-shot on the phone helps the process, but is not required.
You will be required to provide the following information:
Full name
Current address (where you are staying)
Best phone number to reach you in order to receive test results
What to Expect:
You will be greeted by a health care provider in personal protective gear who will give you instructions.
A minimally invasive test will be administered.
Do NOT eat for two hours prior to your appointment time.
Test results are not immediate. Most people will receive results within 10 days. After taking the test, you will be given information on what to do while you await the results.
You will receive test results via the telephone number you gave at the time of pre-screening.
Please be patient – calling back to check on your results will not expedite the process.
Testing sites are staffed by health care professionals in medical protective gear who are trained to test for COVID-19 coronavirus. Directional signage and law enforcement will help residents through the testing site in an orderly fashion.
People who are experiencing a medical emergency should dial 9-1-1 immediately.
COVID-19 coronavirus testing has been a collaboration among Hillsborough County, the City of Tampa, the Florida Department of Health in Hillsborough County, the University of South Florida, and four major medical groups in the region – BayCare, Tampa General Hospital, AdventHealth, and HCA Healthcare – West Florida Division.
Get Connected. Stay Alert.
For more information on COVID-19, and any other potential emergency in the county, visit HCFLGov.net/StaySafe and sign up for the HCFL Alert system. Additionally, you can follow Hillsborough County on social media at Facebook, Twitter, and Nextdoor for updates. For general County information, call (813) 272-5900, the County’s main information line.
Thank you and be safe,

General Meeting Reminder:
Locally and across the nation Americans have had to adjust the way they work, live and play as a result of the COVID-19 Virus. Many have now gotten used to working from home, utilizing grocery pick-up or delivery and finding social interaction through unconventional outlets. Similarly, the South Seminole Heights Civic Association (SSHCA) must adjust how we operate and communicate with our residents. As such, this month, which is typically a time when residents get together for our April General Meeting, will require us to host our meeting via phone/online (log in details are below). However, the meeting date, time, format and guest speakers will remain the same. This month features:
Thomas Ries - Ecosphere Restoration Institute
Thomas will be providing updates on the Ignacio Haya Linear Park Shoreline Restoration Project. This long overdue project is finally getting ready to commence. Thomas will provide insight about what residents can expect as well as project timelines.
Nanette O'Hara - Seminole Heights Flood Relief Project
The City of Tampa is embarking on a major stormwater improvement project to reduce frequent flooding in Southeast Seminole Heights. The project will involve the construction of new box culverts and new or upgraded pipes, inlets and interconnections in portions of each of the three Heights neighborhoods. Nanette will be providing information about the impact to South Seminole Heights and the timeline of the project.

Seminole Heights Cares Phone Tree
Hello Neighbors,
Seminole Heights Cares about the well-being of our residents. We are concerned about our home bound elderly or at-risk individuals who live alone during this CoVid 19 Virus Outbreak. We are trying to locate those folks, including those not on Facebook, who don’t have anyone to check in on them every day. Every eligible person who asks will join a daily neighborhood call tree, accept and make one phone call per day to let us know they are OK. There are 3 qualifications:
1. You must live in OSHNA, SSH, SESH or Hampton Terrace to participate.
2. You are physically well enough to receive and make one phone call per day.
3. You send us an email to SeminoleHeightsCares@gmail.com to ask to participate. Include:
*Participant’s Name
*Specific Neighborhood where you live
*Age (optional)
*Phone Number
*Home Address
Please be advised, if any participant doesn’t answer or make their required call, we will call non-emergency TPD to request a wellness check on that person.
Many thanks to the wonderful volunteers who have stepped up to be a team lead in their own neighborhoods, including Mona Roberson – Hampton Terrace, Cara Davis – SESH, Martha McNamee – North OSHNA, Brenda Balla – South OSHNA and Cal Albritton – South Seminole Heights
I have a form I can email you that you could print and take to someone without email access to complete, then you can scan and email back to me.
Once the phone tree in an area exceeds 10 people, we will need additional volunteers to head up a list, so it doesn’t become unmanageable. Please email me SeminoleHeightsCares@gmail.com to let me know if you are interested in helping and include your name, neighborhood, phone number, address and email address.
Thank you and if you have any questions, please let me know.
