The Florida Department of Health in Orange, Seminole and Osceola Counties, Florida Hospital, Orlando Health, Nemours Children’s Health System, and the Health Council of East Central Florida are hosting the summit to explore and discuss the major factors impacting our area and how best to make our community a better place to live, work, and play.
At the summit, topics will include health, economy, business, education, government, environment, public safety, and transportation, and how all these areas play a role in improving the health of a community.
