Carol Gormley

Independent Living Systems

Prior to being named the Vice President of Government Affairs for Independent Living Systems, Gormley was the health care whisperer shaping Florida health policy for decades, first in Bush’s office of planning and budgeting and then in the Legislature. She most recently was Chief of Staff for former House Speaker Jose Oliva, helping him pass a sweeping health care agenda that included eliminating Certificate of Need regulations.

Jan Gorrie

Ballard Partners

The amount of work Gorrie accomplishes by 9 a.m. rivals that of the U.S. Army. Lucky for Florida, she has focused her efforts on educating the future workforce by lobbying on behalf of the state’s medical schools, as well as ways to bring additional Medicaid funding to improve reimbursement for the faculty medical plans at various colleges of medicine and for safety net hospitals. Gorrie, a lawyer, is the managing partner of Ballard Partners’ Tampa Office.
