Leaders of Catholic Health Ministries in Florida visited the capitol on Wednesday, April 5 to speak with lawmakers about funding mechanisms for long-term care providers. Joining LeadingAge Florida and other nursing home advocates at a press conference, Joseph Catania, President and CEO, Catholic Health Services; Kip Corriveau, Director of Mission, Bon Secours St. Petersburg Health System; and Jim Ball, Chief Operating Officer, Catholic Health Services were present to convey opposition to proposals that would penalize quality, efficient care to vulnerable seniors. While in town, they were also able to participate in Catholic Days at the Capitol activities.
