Jose improves healthcare statewide through nursing societies as well. He is past president of the Florida Association of Nurse Anesthetists and former chair of its Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Committee. He is also a member of the American Association of Nurse Anesthetists and the Florida Nurses Association.
