... serving physicians practicing
in the post acute care contin
uum

 

The Mission Statement of the Florida Medical Directors Association is
"to promote the highest quality care in nursing homes by providing leadership, professional education and advocacy".

This is achieved through a monthly newsletter, an annual meeting, this website and also the availability of the FMDA Board of Directors and officers to help physicians deal with individual issues.

Florida is a unique state in terms of post acute care. Unfortunately, some may say,..."What happens here today will occur in the rest of the country tomorrow".

Chairman of the Board Dr. Morris Kutner, Dr. Hugh Thomas (director),
