Broward Health Medical Center is part of the North Broward Hospital District, which decided this week to hire Shane Strum, Gov. DeSantis’ chief of staff, as its CEO.

Media reports suggest the White House is considering domestic travel restrictions to control spread of a new COVID-19 variant. Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis says he is "100% opposed."

Gov. Ron DeSantis said the media is overly concerned about so-called superspreader events in Tampa after the Bucs' Super Bowl victory.

Walmart and Sam’s Club will join Publix and Southeastern Grocers' chains Winn-Dixie and Harveys in providing vaccinations across the state.

Broward Health, one of the county’s largest health systems, has chosen Shane Strum, Gov. Ron DeSantis’ chief of staff, to become its new CEO.

The provider gave 4,000 shots the first week of the drive-thru's operation. Then the supply ran out, and thousands of people lost their appointments.

The governor did not recommend Medicaid rate cuts for nursing homes or hospitals, pleasing those facilities. But other groups said the plan falls short in funding for people with developmental disabilities.

The governor tweeted about the “modest increase” from the federal government, but added that “supply remains a critical issue in vaccinating our 65 and older population.”

The vaccines will be available at eight Publix pharmacies in Indian River County and 11 in St. Lucie County, Gov. Ron DeSantis announced.

During a statewide phone call, Department of Health Secretary Scott Rivkees told hospitals they cannot use “second dose” vaccine supplies to give initial vaccinations to more people.
