“Gov. Newsom’s signature on landmark legislation to improve wages for California’s health care workers will create meaningful change for families struggling to keep pace while at the same time protecting access to care in vulnerable communities,” said Carmela Coyle, President & CEO of the California Hospital Association. “This bill strikes the right balance between significantly improving wages while protecting jobs and safeguarding care at community hospitals throughout the state.”
“Hospitals are grateful for the governor’s support of health care workers and employers and for his vision to help build a stronger health care system for the future,” Coyle said.
