Every year, 380,000 babies in the United States are born prematurely. For families in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU), life can be traumatic, but also full of love and hope. In this series, we follow one California family as they experience NICU life at Loma Linda University Children’s Hospital for the second time around.
Prematurity is not unusual — it affects one in ten babies. But for those who haven’t experienced the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) first-hand, that world can seem mysterious and scary.

The Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) has published previously released final rules — one from the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) and the other from the Office of the National Coordinator for Health Information Technology (ONC) — intended to improve the interoperability of health information and define regulations to prevent information blocking. Due to the COVID-19 public health emergency, certain provider compliance and enforcement deadlines have been updated since the regulations were first released on March 9.

Yesterday, the Department of Health Care Services (DHCS) submitted a final draft of the Hospital Fee Program (VI) fee and payment model to the Centers for Medicaid & Medicare Services (CMS). Over the past six months, CHA has worked closely with DHCS in finalizing the next hospital fee program. The model should be considered a final draft until the state receives official CMS approval, though CHA and DHCS do not expect significant changes during the CMS review and approval process.

State and federal agencies have issued many waivers granting hospitals and health care providers flexibility in complying with payment and other requirements during the COVID-19 pandemic.
CHA hosts events year-round that give providers of health care services and products the opportunity to meet face-to-face with hospital executive management. Our conference and symposiums each have unique audiences — disaster planners and their teams, medical rehabilitation experts, skilled nursing professionals, behavioral health care providers and rural hospitals.
The 2025 California Hospital Volunteer Leadership Conference, in its 62nd year, will be held in-person at the Sharp Prebys Innovation and Education Center in San Diego, September 15-16, 2025.
The intended audience is volunteer leaders, volunteers, paid staff who manage volunteer programs, community partners, and inter-professional peers looking to expand their services with volunteer programs.
