I have served as a member of the advocacy team that led many important and successful reform efforts on behalf of Florida's children, youth and their families. For example, our state shuttered the decrepit and disgraceful institutions warehousing developmentally disabled and mentally ill children so they could be served better and with caring dignity in community-based settings. Our Healthy Start and children's health insurance programs became national models in providing preventive care and access to doctors and nurses without resorting to emergency rooms for routine care.
