Florida PPEC Starter

Florida PPEC Resource — a source-backed guide to opening a PPEC in Florida. Every requirement, question, and claim traces to one of 12 official or curated sources; nothing here is asserted without provenance.

No patient information is collected here. This is planning guidance for the people building the center — not a clinical system.

How the startup path progresses

Four readiness stages, from first research to operating. The readiness check places you on this band.

0–25

Exploring

You're early — this is the right time to organize the playbook before committing capital, signing a lease, or applying to AHCA.

26–50

Planning

You have the shape of it. The Readiness tier gives you the tracker, team seats, and the setup binder.

51–75

Build-ready

You're close enough to operationalize. The Launch Workspace is the right bridge — it captures your readiness state and organizes First Census Operations on the same platform you will run on.

76–100

Harbor-ready

You're operating or about to. Talk to Harbor: a consult will scope your upgrade to Harbor in place — your workspace, records, and history carry forward on the same platform.

Who this is for

The readiness check tailors its read-out to how you're approaching the program.

  • Founder / new entrant
  • Existing healthcare operator
  • PE / acquisition evaluator
  • Consultant / advisor

What you'll work through

The full path is organized into 14 setup areas — see the guide for the narrative and the requirements library for every item with its sources.
