Mary Mayhew

Florida Hospital Association

Mayhew left a position in Washington with the Donald Trump administration to accept a post in the DeSantis administration instead. As AHCA Secretary, Mayhew helped the Governor in the early stages of the COVID-19 response. She stepped down in September 2020 and accepted a position as president and CEO of the FHA. There, she directed a study of the state’s nursing workforce, which resulted in the infusion of hundreds of millions of dollars into nursing programs.
