BOCA RATON, FL, -- August 30, 2022 -- Stay wild - it's good for your health! As a dynamic driver of statewide land conservation, Conservation Florida proudly announces Cross Country Healthcare as a corporate sponsor for its This Brand Saves Land philanthropy campaign.This Brand Saves Land is a corporate cause-marketing partnership that provides a meaningful way for businesses to join a larger land conservation movement that directly impacts the quality of life for present and future generations of Floridians. Florida is one of the fastest growing states in the nation, with an estimated 1,000 newcomers each day, just as we lose 100,000 acres of natural and rural land to development each year. With this comes a greater demand for water and the development of rural and natural lands for urban use. How we manage our natural resources over the next 10 to 20 years – what we save and what we pave – will undoubtedly determine Florida’s conservation future and the future of Florida as a whole. Conservation Florida is on the front lines - and Cross Country Healthcare just joined us.“As a part of our commitment to social and environmental responsibility, Cross Country is dedicated to the future of the communities we serve," said John A. Martins, President and CEO of Cross Country Healthcare.
