More than 25 associate members got a look at the current health care landscape at HASC’s annual Associate Member Luncheon held Sept. 27. The event, which also serves as a forum for associate members to ask questions, provide feedback and meet with colleagues, featured several HASC staff members.

Jim Barber, HASC president/CEO, provided an overview of health care reform, and Jim Lott, executive vice president, Health Care Policy Development and Communications, presented an update on government affairs. The afternoon also featured Julia Slininger, vice president, Quality and Patient Safety; Teri Hollingsworth, vice president, Human Resource Services; and George Mack, vice president, Payer/Provider & Member Relations, with a brief introduction of Southern California Patient Safety Colloquium, LEAD Academy and the Palliative Care Transitions Conference, three of HASC’s educational offerings.

Thank you to all who attended. Associate membership is an opportunity for non-hospital organizations such as consulting firms, architectural groups and law firms that serve hospitals and health systems to expand their network.  For more information about becoming an associate member, please visit www.hasc.org/associate-membership, or contact Pat Wall.
