Did you know we are the FIRST Chapter of the ACC?One of the pivotal moments in its history is that we have chapters and our chapter network is strong and vibrant. As ACC celebrates its 75th Anniversary, we were able to look back on our chapter and its role - click below to read the article in Cardiology Magazine.

President's MessageMarch 2025Dear FCACC Members,
The Florida Chapter in Tallahassee The Legislative Session is underway and I wanted to say thanks to everyone who has volunteered to serve as Doctor of the Day and travel to testify in committees. (Click the link to see my stint as Doctor of The Day: https://youtu.be/xCTC8Y29YPQ). We are actively working on Senate Bill 294, sponsored by Senator Gayle Harrell that would amend the Collaborative Pharmacy Practice Agreement statute. We are anticipating passage in the Senate soon, and then we will have to start our push in the House. If our lobbyist, Marnie George, reaches out to ask for you help, I hope you can find the time to pitch in for our effort. We are also working with Senator Simon and colleagues on bills related to ECG screening and keeping young athletes in Florida safe from sudden cardiac death. Links below are to testimony from Doctors Ackermann and Lopez, thank you both! Dr. Ackermann: click here Dr. Lopez: click here For everyone attending ACC.25 in Chicago, I hope to see you at the Florida Reception on Saturday night. After that meeting, the chapter will be in the very capable hands of Dr. David Kenigsberg! It has been my honor to serve as your President and thank you very much for the honor and the privilege. Sincerely, David Winchester, MD, MS, FACC President, Florida Chapter ACC |
