AvMed's History

AvMed was created in 1969 as a prepaid health care system for pilots in Miami’s aviation industry. Today, AvMed is Florida’s largest not-for-profit health plan. AvMed, whose name is derived from "aviation medicine," became licensed as an HMO in 1973 and earned Federal qualification in 1977.

Our founders were interested primarily in better and more affordable health care. Today, our mission directly reflects our tradition of improving the health of our members and the communities we serve.
