We serve seven counties spanning from Monroe to the Treasure Coast and over one thousand healthcare executives, students and supporters who comprise this organization with roots dating back to 1972.

So many have sacrificed so much while battling this pandemic and I am proud to be part of one of the many healthcare-related organizations that contributes to this higher calling.
