The deactivations primarily involved individual practitioners, with 6 records for individuals and 1 for an organization.
Credential and Geographic Distribution

Geographically, the deactivations were distributed across various Florida cities, with no single location showing a significant concentration. For instance, Temple Terrace, Delray Beach, Hollywood, Rockledge, and Altamonte Springs each recorded one deactivation, indicating a broad geographic spread rather than a localized trend in these administrative changes.
Data Context
