At Tuesday's meeting, the Jackson County Board of County Commissioners unanimously approved an updated letter of agreement with Sunshine State Health Plan for medical management care.

County Administrator Jim Dean explained that the board had initially approved the agreement in March 2025. However, the revised version includes a key addition, Children's Medical Services has now been incorporated into the plan, allowing for the collection of funds on behalf of the county.

"It's the same language, according to the Chief, but with this small but important update," Dean said.

Commissioner Paul Donofro made the motion to approve the updated agreement and authorized Chairman Jamey Westbrook to sign it. The motion was seconded by Commissioner Dr. Willie Spires and passed with a 5-0 vote.
