Local current and proposed regulations can impede hospitals’
ability to provide quality, affordable, coordinated care in their
communities.
Advocacy Initiatives:
Continue to educate local, state and federal elected
officials’ legislative and regulatory staff, community leaders
and community groups about the impact of local, state and federal
regulations on hospitals, including the financial challenges
faced by hospitals and the impact on patient care.
Actively address local/county legislative and regulatory
activities as they affect hospitals.
Support CHA advocacy to respond to changes in policy and
governmental mandates resulting from actions at the state and
federal level, e.g. CDPH, use of hospital community benefit
funds, etc.
