About Us

2025 President’s Message

Thank you for allowing me the privilege of serving as your FAHQ President for 2025. I hope to bring a renewed sense of enthusiasm and energy to our association as we continue our commitment to developing, supporting, and promoting professional expertise in healthcare quality. Below, I share my reflections on our achievements and outline the vision for the future.

Announcing the 2025 FAHQ Board:

This diverse and talented group of healthcare quality leaders is ready to guide FAHQ in 2025, and I look forward to working alongside them to support our mission.

Our Purpose and Commitment

The FAHQ exists to empower Florida’s quality healthcare professionals by providing educational, networking, and professional development opportunities. We deliver best practices, evidence-based methodologies, and insights from leaders in professional, legislative, and regulatory spaces. Additionally, we celebrate and share the achievements of our members.

To advance this mission, I encourage every member to help us grow our community. Spread the word about the association and all we offer. Share your experiences with colleagues, promote the FAHQ on social media, and invite others to join us in improving healthcare quality. Consider volunteering too!

Highlights and Plans for 2025

  • Continuing Education Webinars: In 2024, we hosted five virtual webinars covering diverse topics that enhanced our knowledge and careers while benefiting our patients and communities. Thanks to our outstanding Professional Development Team, we already have exciting webinars planned for 2025. The Professional Development Team has other great things in the works that will be announced throughout the year!
  • Annual Conference: Our Conference Planning Team is working hard to make the 2025 FAHQ Annual Conference the most impactful yet, with engaging speakers and exceptional networking opportunities.
  • Newsletter and Communications: Building on the foundation laid in 2024, the FAHQ Newsletter will continue to provide timely, resourceful content and celebrate our members’ achievements. Each issue spotlights a member and highlights milestones such as new CPHQ certifications. Additionally, our LinkedIn page, launched in 2024, will help us connect with current and prospective members. Follow and engage with us here!

Focus on Growth and Inclusivity

In 2025, we are prioritizing the recruitment of new members, including early-career professionals, to strengthen the next generation of healthcare quality leaders. Our Member Development Team, in collaboration with the Nominations Team, and the Communications Team, will work to expand our reach and market the FAHQ effectively. However, growth isn’t a task for teams alone—every member plays a crucial role in advancing our mission.

Without growth, we risk stagnation, and with stagnation comes decline. Let’s ensure the FAHQ remains a dynamic, thriving organization by actively engaging with our colleagues, sharing the value of membership, and mentoring the next generation of healthcare quality leaders. Quality isn’t just a departmental responsibility—it impacts every patient and healthcare professional. Let’s think creatively and break down silos as we move forward together.

A Call to Action

The FAHQ brings tremendous value to its members, the patients we serve, and our communities. Together, we can elevate this organization to new heights. Let’s embrace this opportunity to grow, collaborate, and ensure a bright future for healthcare quality in Florida.

To ensure our continued growth and success, we need your help. Each member has the power to make a difference in the future of our organization by actively recruiting new members and encouraging colleagues to join our mission.

Start by sharing the benefits of FAHQ membership with your peers, highlighting our educational webinars, networking opportunities, and professional development resources. Leverage your personal and professional networks, including social media, to extend our reach and attract new members. Every conversation and connection counts.

Please consider volunteering for an FAHQ team, as there are many opportunities to serve the FAHQ. To explore volunteer opportunities, please visit our website here.

Thank you for your ongoing support and dedication to FAHQ. I am excited about what we will accomplish together in 2025!

 

TL;DR: Key plans for 2025 include webinars, a dynamic annual conference, and growth initiatives targeting new members and early-career professionals. You are encouraged to promote FAHQ, recruit peers, and volunteer to ensure the organization’s continued success.
