Statement from LeadingAge Florida President & CEO Steve Bahmer on Routine Immunity Critical to Continued Quality Care

Posted on April 13, 2020


The COVID-19 public health emergency is unprecedented on many fronts, threatening the life and health of people around the world. The situation is very fluid, with federal and state guidance changing almost daily regarding how to provide appropriate care for those in need.

LeadingAge Florida has asked for the level of legal immunity needed to ensure that caregivers can focus on taking the necessary steps to care for the highest-risk populations in these extraordinary conditions.

A request for limited immunity from liability for actions taken to mitigate COVID-19 is not unique, and other states have already provided such protections. New York, Michigan, Kentucky, Illinois, Indiana and Louisiana have enacted policies to provide immunity from liability for caregivers in their efforts to reduce the impact and slow the spread of the coronavirus.

A copy of LeadingAge Florida’s letter to Governor DeSantis can be found HERE.

Established in 1963 as a Florida not-for-profit corporation, LeadingAge Florida is committed to assisting its members in achieving excellence as providers, businesses and employers. The Association provides up-to-date regulatory information, a wide variety of educational opportunities, representation before the Legislature and government agencies, group purchasing services, and opportunities for networking with peers.
