The termination of Temporary Protected Status for Haitian nationals is drawing alarm from Florida healthcare leaders, who warn the state could lose a significant portion of its long-term care workforce. The Florida Health Care Association estimates roughly 35,000 Haitian healthcare workers are employed in Florida's long-term care system, and says losing even a fraction could worsen already acute staffing shortages. Healthcare workers union 1199SEIU echoed concerns about patient care disruptions as experienced clinicians lose work authorization. Legal proceedings over implementation of the Supreme Court's ruling continue, leaving employers and workers in uncertainty.
