Southwest Florida is the region along the south west gulf coast of the U.S. State of Florida.

Definitions of the region vary, though its boundaries are generally considered to put it south of the Tampa Bay area, west of Lake Okeechobee, and mostly north of the Everglades and to include Manatee, Sarasota, Charlotte, Lee, and Collier counties.

For some purposes, the inland counties of DeSoto, Glades, and Hendry, and the thinly populated mainland section of Monroe County, south of Collier, are also included.

Health care or healthcare is the maintenance or improvement of health via the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of disease, illness, injury, and other physical and mental impairments in human beings.

Healthcare is delivered by health professionals (providers or practitioners) in allied health professions, chiropractic, physicians, physician associates, dentistry, midwifery, nursing, medicine, optometry, pharmacy, psychology, and other health professions.

It includes the work done in providing primary care, secondary care, and tertiary care, as well as in public health.

The ethics of care (alternatively care ethics or EoC) is a normative ethical theory that holds interpersonal relationships and care or benevolence as a virtue as central to moral action.

It is one of a cluster of normative ethical theories that were developed by feminists in the second half of the twentieth century.

While consequentialist and deontological ethical theories emphasize universal standards and impartiality, ethics of care emphasize the importance of response.

The shift in moral perspective is manifested by a change in the moral question from "what is just?" to "how to respond?".

Ethics of care criticize application of universal standards as "morally problematic, since it breeds moral blindness or indifference.".
