FMA Annual Meeting
The Florida Medical Association’s Annual Meeting was held August 5-7, 2022, in Orlando. The HCMA Delegation, which was allotted 26 seats his year, filled 22 of those seats! Of the 22 HCMA delegates, seven were first-time HCMA delegates and of those seven, five were new HCMA members.
The HCMA delegation is a member of the Lower West Coast Caucus (LWCC) which is comprised of the Charlotte, Collier, Hillsborough, Lee, Manatee, Polk, and Sarasota Delegations. The LWCC met before and during the Annual Meeting to review reso- lutions submitted to the House of Delegates and the subsequent reference committee reports. The HCMA delegation submitted one resolution, “Medicaid Expansion,” which was not adopted by the House of Delegates this year.
Congratulations to the following HCMA members: Drs. Eva Crooke, Rebecca Johnson, and Michael Cromer were elected to serve as FL AMA Delegates/Alternates; Dr. Ajoy Kumar, also a new HCMA member, was elected to serve as FMA District C rep- resentative on the FMA Board of Governors; Dr. Alexander Lake was elected to serve as Resident/Fellow physician on the FMA Board of Governors; and Dr. Charles Lockwood received the Ger- old L. Schiebler, MD, Advocate for Medical Students Award.
Many thanks to the HCMA members who volunteered to serve as HCMA delegates and those who served as delegates for their specialty societies. Your dedication to organized medicine is admirable and very much appreciated.
