Through our advocacy work, we give hospitals the tools, skills and support they need to make their vision happen. We empower you with the scale of our membership, represent your concerns and priorities, press for recognition of your needs, and insist on the importance of your voice in public policy.
Our public policy priorities are driven by our mission—to lead, represent and serve hospitals, and work collaboratively with other stakeholders to enhance community health. We scan the current environment for issues critical to our members and advocate in a way that best represents your needs.
HASC’s current public policy priorities include a focus on emergency medical services (EMS), Medi-Cal managed care, indigent physical and mental health, facility licensing, external relations, and support for the California Hospital Association (CHA).
There are many ways to become involved, and it all begins with knowing your representatives. Contacting government representatives, soliciting the right contacts within your organization, joining a HASC committee or contributing to CHPAC are all ways your voice can make a difference.
