Advocating for Florida’s Hospitals
Florida’s hospitals are vital community resources that employ hundreds of thousands of professionals, invest in local goods and services, and train the next generation of caregivers. As the state’s largest hospital association, representing more than 200 hospitals and health systems across the state, the Florida Hospital Association provides a unified voice for Florida’s hospital community, advocating on behalf of its members to maintain and improve access to affordable, quality health care for all Floridians. FHA is committed to educating and collaborating with decision–makers at the state and federal levels to help shape critical policy issues that impact patients and communities.
FHA exists to support the mission of our members to provide the highest quality of care to the patients they serve.
