Safety Net Hospital Alliance of Florida

The Safety Net Hospital Alliance of Florida advocates on behalf of Florida’s 14 safety net hospital systems to ensure that they have the resources to continue their mission of providing accessible and high-quality health care for all Floridians, regardless of their ability to pay. These hospitals—acknowledged as among America’s best—play a vital role in the state’s health care system as teaching hospitals, public hospitals, and children’s hospitals. Though they make up only 10 percent of Florida’s hospitals, safety nets provide half of the state’s charity care, 80 percent of the state’s graduate education, and 67 percent of the organ transplants performed in the state. They perform two out of three organ transplants and treat 99 percent of inpatient burn victims in Florida.
