Every 2 years the Florida Bar Foundation designates Goldstein-Van Nortwick Awards for Excellence. These prestigious awards are in recognition of significant impact projects affecting a substantial number of poor people and addressing important poverty law issues. The Florida Health Justice Project has received these competitive biennial awards two times since our work began in 2018. 

• 2022 Goldstein – Van Nortwick Award Recipient | Honored for enforcing Medicaid rights of former foster youth. First Runner-up.
• ​2020 Goldstein – Van Nortwick Award Recipient | Honored for obtaining relief for thousands by reforming Florida’s flawed Medicaid “ex parte review” process. First Runner-up.​

Like the Goldstein-Van Nortwick Award, the Florida Bar Foundation (the Foundation) issues the Paul Doyle Children’s Advocacy Award (“Doyle Award”) to recognize and encourage systemic legal advocacy on behalf of low-income children accomplished by the Foundation’s Grantees. In 2023, upon its first application for the Doyle Award, Florida Health Justice Project was awarded First Runner-up for its work to ensure medically fragile children continued to receive critical medical services, like consumable medical supplies and private duty nursing services, when they turned age 21.

• 2023 Paul Doyle Children’s Advocacy Award | Honored for its Ensuring Continuity of Care for Medically Fragile Children Aging Out of EPSDT (the Medicaid Aging Out Project”). First Runner-up.
