The 2018 California Hospital Volunteer Leadership Conference, Feb. 19-21 in Newport Beach, brings together experts in volunteerism, health care issues and the community for learning and networking opportunities.
Richard Afable, MD, MPH, 2018 chair, CHA and CAHHS boards of trustees, and trustee, Providence Little Company of Mary Medical Center, will present the conference’s opening session on Feb. 19, titled “Behavioral and Mental Health Crisis: An Epidemic and An Opportunity.” Dr. Afable will explore the crisis within California’s behavioral health system, which is fragmented, unresponsive to consumer needs, does not always emphasize recovery and serves only a fraction of those in need. Attendees will learn more about ways to solve this crisis using several types of emergency and crisis services under development within California, and the potential roles that volunteers play in the solutions.
