As a membership organization, the Hospital Association of Southern California depends on the dedication and commitment of its members to ensure the vitality of association programs. Leading executives join our committees to network, build partnerships and initiate action on issues like emergency services, health information exchange, behavioral health, indigent care, and more. Each committee serves as one more connection to a community of peers working to improve the operating environment for hospitals and the health status of the communities they serve.

Board Meetings
Nursing Advisory Council
As a thought leader on the future of nursing, NAC provides strategic solutions applicable across the continuum of care. This council serves as an advocate, resource, and guidepost for the changes needed to sustain health care’s economic viability, productivity, and positive outcomes for our society.
Association Committees
Association committees address key concerns in health care. They oversee particular projects, review professional and organizational issues, and recommend courses of action that are essential to our collective success.
Regional Committees
HASC’s regional committees are central to the mission and vision of the organization. Meetings throughout the year bring together representatives from local hospitals and other health care organizations along with HASC’s regional vice presidents to provide a critical regional voice for area members, strengthening statewide advocacy and addressing local health concerns.
