  Please join us for the next meeting of the Florida Philanthropic Network Health Funders. 

  First, representatives from the Elisabeth C. Deluca Foundation will provide an overview of their partnership with Futuro Health, a national nonprofit organization addressing the critical shortage in healthcare workers.  

  In September, the Elisabeth C. Deluca Foundation awarded a generous $10.2 million grant to Futuro Health. This funding will enable the tuition-free training of 2,000 residents across Connecticut and Florida’s Tri-County area, including Miami Dade, Broward, and Palm Beach counties, preparing them for careers in allied and behavioral health roles.  

  This grant will play a crucial role in growing a more representative and prepared healthcare workforce in Connecticut and Florida to fill an enormous need at a time when there exists no foreseeable end to the healthcare workforce shortage.  

  Matt Herndon from RSA Consulting will also provide a legislative update.
