Legislative insights and action from the Florida Hospital Association
Mission to Care. Vision to Lead.
Legislative action meets hospital and health system advocacy
Each year, the Florida Hospital Association monitors hundreds of bills and educates lawmakers on the proposed legislation’s impact through meetings and testimony on behalf of the state’s hospitals and the patients they serve. These are just a few of the legislative items FHA is engaging on over the next couple of months.
Legislative Issues & Priorities
FHA 2023 Legislative Summary
FHA entered the 2023 Legislative Session with a focus on proactive advocacy in five major areas: workforce, the state budget, behavioral health, payer accountability, and Florida’s regulatory environment. This session, our proactive legislative strategy focused on investing in our health care system, instead of fighting cuts and regulations. Overall, the attitude towards hospitals has shifted to appreciation and concern to ensure timely access to high-quality modern health care services for Florida’s 22 million residents.
