Stories Make A Difference
Although many of us have been harmed by the gaps in Florida's health care system, sharing stories can be a powerful tool to help heal in many ways.
The process of storytelling ensures have we have our health care hardships validated and helps us process challenging experiences. It also connects us with others, protecting us from feeling alone in any struggles.
Below you’ll find videos and written narratives of Floridians who have both endured the brokenness of our health system and those who have successfully found care. You’ll also find stories of Navigators, providers, and other stakeholders, who are interested in making sure Floridians get the health care they deserve.

Real Floridians Living Real Change.
The stories of real people are often forgotten in the health care debate. Florida Voices is dedicated to ensuring those stories are seen, heard, and centered in the media and by health policymakers.
