Gov. Rick Scott after talking to families of victims of the Parkland school shooting at Broward Health North: “I just had the opportunity to go thank the physicians and the nursing staff that had been taking care of patients. And they’d been working hard here as you expect.”

Scott: “I talked to a few families that have individuals here that have gone through surgery. And of course they’re very concerned about their loved ones. They know their getting good care.”

Scott says he has six grandkids now with the oldest 6. On every parent’s mind today is whether their kids are going to a safe school, he says. “I know our law enforcement is going to continue to do everything they can to keep every child in our state safe.”

Scott: “We got to figure out how to keep everybody safe.”

Scott says the families at Broward Health North are worries about their loved ones but are optimistic. “They feel like they’re getting good care.”

Scott: “My job as governor is to try to do everything I can to provide any services, anything they need, just try to be available. Hug people that want to be hugged.”
