Florida Health News Inc., an independent online news service, is a not-for-profit journalistic enterprise that was launched in March 2007 with seed money from foundations. Our mission: to inform the public on state and local health policy and finance issues as they develop. Florida Health News (FHN) posts health-related stories reported around the state, highlights the Florida impact of national stories, and tracks state health legislation. As financially struggling newspapers shrink coverage of serious health issues in Tallahassee and around the state, FHN has filled gaps through staff and free-lance reporting. FHN also offers e-Alerts, a Monday-through-Friday news service, available at no charge, by signing up at this site. A Florida not-for-profit corporation, FHN is sponsored by the Florida Health Policy Center.
