Florida Senate President Offers Proposal to Grow State’s Heath Care Workforce

Last week, Florida Senate President Kathleen Passidomo, R-Naples, joined state Sen. Colleen Burton, R-Lakeland, the chair of the Senate Committee on Health Policy and state Sen. Gayle Harrell,R-Stuart, the chair of the Senate Appropriations Committee on Health and Human Services, to announce the Senate’s Live Healthy proposal.

The Live Healthy package of legislation for the 2024 Legislative Session is designed to grow Florida’s healthcare workforce, increase access, and incentivize innovation.

“Access to health care is important at every phase of life. Insurance does not guarantee access, as even Floridians with great insurance face barriers to care. Live Healthy is a robust package of policy enhancements and strategic investments that will help make sure Florida’s healthcare workforce is growing at the same pace as the rest of our great state,” said Passidomo.
