About our chapter
Strength through a diverse professional community
The IAHSS Central Florida Chapter brings together professionals from small hospitals, major healthcare systems, in-house security programs, contract security companies and the organizations that support them.
That diversity creates a broad network of experience and expertise members can rely on.
