At its Jan. 30 meeting, the CHA Board of Trustees discussed the 2020 state and federal political landscape and the advocacy agendas for each. Advocacy will focus on two broad categories: protecting patients and communities, and building better health and a better health care delivery system. Priorities include protecting Medicare and Medi-Cal funding, seismic compliance reform, behavioral health care augmentation, and coverage expansion.
The bulk of the meeting focused on the affordability of health care and work that CHA will be doing to help improve hospitals’ ability to successfully care for their patients and uplift their communities.
