Today, Dr. Rodrigo Torres, Chief Medical Officer for AdventHealth Dade City and AdventHealth served as Doctor of the Day for the opening day of the 2022 Legislative Session.
“I am extending my appreciation to Wilton Simpson, the President of the Florida Senate for inviting me to take part in the 2022 Florida Legislative Session, as the Doctor of the Day,” said Dr. Rodrigo Torres, Chief Medical Officer of AdventHealth Dade City and AdventHealth Zephyrhills. I am grateful to be part of AdventHealth West Florida Division, which remains focused on pioneering innovation and being the source of vital information for all the communities we serve.”
Doctor of the Day was founded in the 1960s by a former Florida House member, Representative Walter Sackett, M.D., from Miami. Representative Sackett encouraged the Florida Medical Association to bring a physician to Tallahassee each day of the Regular Session.
This program, which is administered by the Legislative Clinic, delivers a vital professional service to the members of the Florida Legislature and all legislative employees.
The physicians of Florida have provided this important voluntary public service each year since the program’s inception.
