Florida Aging and
Disabilities Convening

On the afternoon of September 12, our conference will officially get underway with opportunities for aging and disabilities advocates to join expert facilitated conversations on one of Florida’s biggest issues: protecting Medicaid for Florida’s aging and disabilities communities.
​
Whether you’re a provider, consumer, or concerned citizen, join us to share your experience on where the gaps in the system exists and how they can be addressed. This will also be a chance to learn about trends and best practices happening nationally and statewide.
