The Florida Department of Health is proud to support the Healthy Florida First initiative to expose toxins in our food. Today, alongside Governor Ron DeSantis and First Lady Casey DeSantis, State Surgeon General Dr. Joseph Ladapo shared the results of infant formula testing performed to protect our most vulnerable population. We remain committed to holding companies accountable to prioritize the health and safety of Floridians.
Early nutrition plays a critical role in growth and development. Understanding what is present in infant formula supports informed decision-making for parents and caregivers.

The Governor just signed our legislation to end period poverty in FL schools! Schools already provide necessary sanitary equipment in bathrooms like toilet paper, soap, & paper towels. Now, bc of our years-long fight, menstrual hygiene products will be no different. A period should end a sentence, not an education — yet 1 in 4 girls report missing school bc they don’t have access to basic health & hygiene products. This is a major win for FL students!

Access to quality prenatal care is a barrier for many communities. Many moms are uninsured & live far from care providers. Doulas & midwives fill those gaps & deliver culturally appropriate care. Everyone deserves a safe pregnancy no matter location, skin color or ability to pay.

Florida’s families finally get the tax break they needed. In 2016, I joined the @FLSenate- a new mom to my twins and committed to making diapers more affordable for new families. Today, we made that happen!
