To improve the health status of the communities our member
hospitals serve, the Hospital Council fosters collaboration
between our members and community stakeholders to find solutions
to promote good health and high-quality care services.
Hospital Council also provides a broad range
of services to support member hospital manage the
delivery of care in their communities. Services include cost
effective projects, education programs, publications and the
fostering of relationships with vendors who offer products
or services that help health care facilities avoid costs, recover
revenue, and reduce operating and capital expenses.
Hospital Council members receive Council Connect,
our electronic newsletter that shares everything we’re
working on for you.
In articles as diverse as our membership — from rural
to urban, and Sierra to sea — we spotlight the
individuals and institutions who are moving the ball forward,
while also sharing news on new ideas and innovative approaches
from our endorsed business partners.
Here’s a look at some of the work that Hospital Council RVPs have
been involved in over the past few weeks.
On Nov. 18, the state announced that the rollout
of the Medi-Cal Managed Care Pharmacy program with Magellan has
been delayed until April 1, 2021. This move by the state to the
new pharmacy program remains unpopular with many, including
providers concerned about negative impacts on patient care. One
clinic network reports this will result in a $2 million loss of
340B dollars, plus a loss of investment in time, software,
dollars, and staff administering 340B. That clinic network is
joining with others to sue the state to carve them out of the
program.
The above quote and picture came from our daughter, Zoey, eight-and-a-half years ago. In preparation for Thanksgiving, Zoey’s preschool teacher asked each student what they were thankful for and wrote their answers down on the sharing board for the parent program. When our family saw this quote, it immediately became our favorite Thanksgiving memory.

As part of its public advocacy efforts, the Hospital Council
brings hospitals together to collaborate on community health
needs assessments (CHNAs). Hospitals can be a catalyst to lead
the community in addressing the most pressing health needs. The
CHNAs provide a data-driven understanding of these needs, and
empowering hospitals to form coalitions with community partners,
government agencies, elected officials, civic groups and the
media, to address and improve community-wide health issues.

secondary data about health status. With this assessment,
hospital members will then develop implementation strategies to
help tackle these needs and continue to improve the health status
of the communities they serve.
