The Health Law Section Newsletter is a quarterly electronic forum that gives members an opportunity to write about interesting health law topics, and also highlights individual section members. The regular “Did You Know?” column focuses on aspects of health law that not all health lawyers may know about or that may be of particular interest. We try to focus on Florida law. Articles should be written or co-authored by members of the Florida Bar. Preference will be given to members of the Health Law Section.

Contributing to the newsletter is simple. Periodically, we will send out a call for authors. You can also send article ideas to the editor at shannon.hartsfield@hklaw.com. Here are some general guidelines if your article is selected:

• Include a short, catchy headline summarizing the piece.

• Attach a .jpg photo and a two line bio including your name and employer.

• Provide approximately three to five original paragraphs on the topic, including links indicating where readers can find more information.

• Cite authoritative, original sources, such as cases and government press releases.

• Articles should be written in an objective tone, like a news article.

• Common acronyms, like HIPAA, CMS, OIG, FDA, EEOC, and DOJ, need not be spelled out.
