Patient Rights.
Equal Accountability.
Safer Healthcare.
Our Mission
The Florida Medical Rights Association (FMRA) is a nonpartisan, patient-focused advocacy organization dedicated to advancing patient rights, promoting accountability, and improving healthcare in Florida.
We provide policymakers, the media, and the public with reliable, evidence-based information; advocate for fair laws and policies; and give patients and families a meaningful voice in the decisions that affect their healthcare and their rights.
In a healthcare system where powerful institutions have a strong voice in public policy, FMRA works to ensure patients have one, too.
