Florida’s nurse leaders will gather in Palmetto this November for the 2026 Annual FONL Conference and Membership Meeting, hosted by the Florida Organization for Nursing Leadership (FONL). Creative Health Care Management (CHCM) is proud to join them as a Platinum Level Exhibitor and the Professional Headshots Studio Sponsor.

From November 4th – 6th, CHCM CEO Gen Guanci and Cultures of Excellence consultant and service line director Marky Medeiros will be at the Palmetto Marriott Resort & Spa. We look forward to reconnecting with colleagues, meeting new nursing leaders, and hearing what organizations across Florida are working to strengthen.

A conference theme that speaks to the work ahead

This year’s FONL theme, Igniting Connection, Empowerment, & Excellence in Nursing Leadership, reflects questions many nurse leaders face every day: How do we create the conditions for nurses to contribute their expertise? How do we support leaders while expectations continue to grow? And how do we turn a commitment to excellence into practices teams can experience and sustain?

Those questions are central to CHCM’s work. We partner with healthcare organizations to strengthen leadership, professional governance, competency, and workplace culture. At FONL, Gen and Marky are eager to learn what is working in your organization and where you could use a fresh perspective.

Connect with Gen Guanci and Marky Medeiros

Gen and Marky bring experience helping nursing teams move from goals to practical action. Their work spans nursing excellence, leadership development, professional governance, and the relationships that support healthy work environments.

If you are attending the 2026 FONL Conference, bring them the question on your mind. You might be looking for ways to:

• Develop and support nurse leaders at different stages of their careers.
• Give nurses a meaningful voice in decisions that affect practice.
• Strengthen professional governance so councils can make progress.
• Assess culture, trust, or workforce development needs before choosing next steps.
• Prepare for or sustain an organizational excellence journey.

A conference conversation can be a useful place to start. Tell us what your team is trying to accomplish, what you have already tried, and where progress feels difficult. Gen and Marky would welcome the chance to think it through with you.

Our Commitment to Florida Healthcare Organizations

CHCM’s relationships in Florida extend across health systems, community hospitals, specialty care, and nursing education. Our team has worked with organizations including Baptist Health South Florida, Tampa General Hospital, Lee Health, Johns Hopkins All Children’s Hospital, and the Nursing Consortium of South Florida, among many others.

Every organization has its own people, priorities, and history. That is why we begin by listening to and working alongside leaders and teams to identify an approach that fits their setting. We are excited to continue those conversations with Florida’s nursing leadership community at FONL.
