CFO Jimmy Patronis Appoints Dr. Stephanie Haridopolos as Chair of Florida Healthy Kids Corporation Board of Directors

Posted on December 10, 2018

Florida Chief Financial Officer (CFO) Jimmy Patronis announced the appointment today of Dr. Stephanie E. Haridopolos as Chair of the Florida Healthy Kids Corporation Board of Directors.

CFO Jimmy Patronis said, “Dr. Haridopolos’ medical expertise and her leadership will bring a fresh perspective to Florida Healthy Kids. A recent report noted that the number of uninsured children across the nation has increased. One of the first issues I’ve asked her to focus on is to find innovative ways to increase the number of children enrolled in the program. With the news that Healthy Kids will not raise monthly premiums for subsidy and full-pay plans in 2019, it’s important that we find new opportunities to ensure no Florida child goes without health insurance. I look forward to working with Dr. Haridopolos to keep our children safe and healthy.”

Dr. Stephanie Haridopolos said, “I’m thrilled to take on this new role to help even more of Florida’s children get the care they need and deserve. Florida Healthy Kids has been covering millions of children for 28 years, and working alongside the entire board, I know we can build on this success. I appreciate CFO Patronis’ leadership on this important issue and look forward to serving Florida well.”
