Our History
PSR Tampa Bay was founded in 2008 by Drs Lynn Ringenberg and Donald Mellman. We’re a chapter of national PSR whichwas founded in 1961. We work closely with the community and have developed collaborative relationships with like minded organizations.
In 2012 the chapter expanded to cover the entire state and changed our name to PSR/Florida. As a statewide organization we have Steering Committee members located in 9 distinct areas of the state. Each Steering Committee member is encouraged to build membership within their local region to address issues of local concern as well as issues that affect the state and the nation.
