Florida Gov.
Ron DeSantis has signed a package of bills that will cost the state $1.5 billion over the next decade in an effort to increase the number of health care workers and promote innovation in the industry, the Florida Phoenix reports.
The "Live Healthy" initiative was spearheaded by Senate President Kathleen Passidomo, a Republican, and focuses on retaining and attracting health care workers to the state, creating a loan program for innovative health care projects, establishing behavioral health teaching hospitals, and providing at-home and community-based services to Floridians with disabilities.
"We've recognized the need to have a really good health care workforce," DeSantis said during the bill signing.
"To see nurses, especially as more nurses retire, you need to have more, so we've been really leaning in on that, and we're excited to do that."
