Advocacy
Government plays an integral part of virtually every hospital operation—whether it be reimbursements, regulations, or inspections. Our political advocacy program is essential to tell the “hospital story at the federal, state or local level. While CHA directs the efforts in both the Congress, the State Legislature, and the State and Federal Administration, the Hospital Council tells the story to Members of Congress and State Legislature when they are home and when working with their local staffs.
LEAD Academy
Designed for health care supervisors and managers, LEAD Academy empowers recently hired, newly appointed or previously untrained health care leaders to better understand and use their strengths.
Local Public Policy Priorities
The Hospital Council of Northern and Central California is the unified voice of our members, acting as a catalyst to empower hospitals to act together on issues affecting patient care and the health status of communities.
We are dedicated to advocating for our member hospitals at the local and regional level and in support of California Hospital Association (CHA) at the State and Federal level. Together, we are far more powerful nationally, statewide and locally than any single hospital or system can be on its own.
Endorsed Business Partners
The Hospital Council’s Endorsed Business Partners provide cutting-edge and cost-effective solutions for our member hospitals. They meet high quality standards and offer products or services that help health care facilities avoid costs, recover revenue, reduce operating and capital expenses, improve management and quality, increase productivity, develop staff resources and apply new strategies.
