“At the end of the day, quality patient care is the hospital’s primary mission and the CEO’s biggest responsibility. If we don’t deliver, we have failed. The Florida Surgical Care Initiative can help us achieve our mission and do right by our patients. If hospitals band together to participate in FSCI, I have no doubt that we can make Florida a national leader in quality health care.”

Stephen R. Mason,
President and CEO of BayCare Health System
Florida Hospital Association Board Chair, 2010
