The FSLA was honored to present Senator Denise Grimsley (R-Lake Placid) with our Legislator of the Year Award at the 2018 Senior Living Conference. For more than a decade, Senator Grimsley has been a dedicated public servant and has brought her expertise in health care to the Florida House and Senate.

Her experience as a medical professional helped champion the huge AHCA regulatory overhaul bill which went into effect on July 1. Senate Bill 622 helps clean up several provisions related to assisted living and provides AHCA with the necessary tools to crack down on unscrupulous entities operating assisted living communities without a license.

FSLA and our members appreciate Senator Grimsley’s support during her time in office and we look forward to her service continuing as she runs for Florida’s Commissioner of Agriculture.
