Florida Health Care Assn. Launches New Docu-Series

The Florida Health Care Association (FHCA) has unveiled Episode One of People Worth Caring About: Florida, featuring the caregivers and residents of LaBelle Health and Rehabilitation Center.

Episode One features puppies, puzzles, and the many pleasures of providing high-quality care at LaBelle Health and Rehabilitation Center, located in the rural, southwest Florida community of LaBelle, according to FHCA.

“Episode One gives us an opportunity to recognize the people who make long term care so meaningful," said Emmett Reed, FHCA CEO. "The caregivers at LaBelle Health and Rehabilitation Center do more than meet residents’ daily needs. They get to know them, build trust with their families and form connections that bring comfort and dignity to everyday life. We're thrilled to release Episode One of this series, which shares those relationships and honors the dedicated people behind them.”
