MORE INFO BELOW:
As an emergency physician, you treat every patient who walks through the doors of your emergency department, including those patients with challenges such as drug dependency, serious mental health, abuse and neglect and often in volatile, high-risk situations. Across Florida, emergency physicians are increasingly facing threats, harassment, and even being followed to their cars or homes.
You provide care on the job, but shouldn't have to worry about your personal and family information being available for patients to access, especially when treating the patients you know pose a safety risk.
SB 268 / HB 251 would create a public records exemption to protect your home address, phone number, workplace, and identifying information—as well as that of your spouse and children—bringing emergency physicians in line with protections already afforded to other at-risk public-facing professions.
