HASC’s Southern California Patient Safety First Collaborative hospitals are convening for their final 2014 in-person event on Wednesday, Sept. 17 at the Pacific Palms Resort Conference Center. The theme, It Takes a Village: Collaborating to Save Lives, will focus on all aspects of the collaborative. Every Patient Safety First hospital is encouraged to attend this free and resource-rich event.

Not sure if your hospital is a Patient Safety First participant? Give us a call or email and we’ll let you know, and we’ll tell you about the benefits of participating. Patient Safety First is fully funded by Anthem Blue Cross.

• Surgical Procedures Are Safer in California: Don’t Be Left Behind!
