During its recent Annual Conference, members of the Florida Health Care Association (FHCA) reelected Anita Faulmann as President of the Association.
Faulmann is Regional Director of Operations-Florida for Excelsior Care Group, which manages nine skilled nursing and rehabilitation facilities across Florida. As President, Faulmann will lead the Association’s 30-member Board of Directors, which includes 16 District Presidents from across the state.
“I believe that as leaders in the long term care profession, it’s our responsibility to paint a compelling picture of the future and motivate others to be part of it,” said Faulmann. “My goal is to continue engaging our membership to inspire the next generation of leaders so this profession remains strong and Florida continues setting the gold standard for high-quality, long term care.”
Faulmann has worked in long term care for over 35 years, first as a recreational therapist then quickly moving up the career ladder to nursing home administration and, ultimately, directing regional operations. Faulmann has spent most of her career actively involved with FHCA. She has previously served on the FHCA Executive Committee as Senior Vice President, Treasurer, and Secretary and has also chaired the association’s Workforce and Annual Conference committees. She is a graduating member of the FHCA Florida Leaders program and the American Health Care Association/National Center for Assisted Living (AHCA/NCAL) Future Leaders in Long Term Care.

Senior Vice President Julie Morris (New Smyrna Beach);
Treasurer Joshua Wagoner, North Campus Rehabilitation and Nursing Center (Leesburg);
Secretary Patricia Spears, Topaz Fiscal Services (Jacksonville);
Not-for-Profit Vice President Connie Bend, St. Catherine Laboure’ Place (Jacksonville)
Independent Owner Vice President Jeffrey Freimark, Miami Jewish Health (Miami);

The Florida Health Care Association (FHCA) is a federation that serves nearly 1,000 members and represents more than 550 long-term care facilities that provide skilled nursing, post-acute and subacute care, short-term rehab, assisted living, and other services to the elderly and individuals with disabilities in Florida. The mission of FHCA is to advance the quality of services, image, professional development, and financial stability of its members. As Florida’s first and largest advocacy organization for long-term care providers and the elderly they serve, the Association has worked diligently since 1954 to assist its members with continuously improving quality of care and quality of life for the state’s growing elder care population.
