Florida Health Care Education and Development Foundation, Inc.

The Foundation is a 501 (c) (3) organization that was established by the Florida Health Care Association in 1983 to promote scholarship programs for nurses and caregivers working in member facilities. Additionally, the Foundation seeks private funding through foundations, grants and other contributions to assist member facilities with continuous quality improvement programs and emergency preparedness, response and recovery. In 2006, the Foundation was awarded a two-year grant from the John A. Hartford Foundation to develop and promote emergency planning products and training materials for nursing homes in
Florida and the southern coastal states, which can be found here.
