The Home Care Association of Florida (HCAF) Board of Directors is comprised of dedicated volunteer leaders from across the state, representing the full spectrum of Florida’s home care industry. From Medicare-certified home health agencies to private pay providers and vendor partners, our 17-member Board drives HCAF’s mission to advance, support, and advocate for high-quality in-home care for Floridians.
Board members serve two-year terms, with the option to renew for up to two consecutive additional terms. The Executive Committee — consisting of the President, Vice President, Secretary, and Treasurer — represents the industry in an at-large capacity, providing strategic oversight and leadership.
In addition, 11 Regional Directors represent home care providers in specific health care regions as designated by the Florida Agency for Health Care Administration (AHCA). The Board also includes a Private Care Director, who serves as the voice of private pay providers, and an Associate Director, who represents vendor organizations that support Florida’s home care providers.
As an HCAF member, you have a unique opportunity to help shape the association’s direction. By engaging with the Board, you can influence policy priorities, guide program development, and contribute to long-term strategic planning — strengthening the home care community statewide.
If you’re interested in making a direct impact by serving on the Board of Directors—or would like to connect with a current Board member — please contact us for more information. Your leadership and involvement are vital to the continued success and growth of our association.
