What to Expect From Your HASC Membership
For hospitals and health systems in Southern California
The Hospital Association of Southern California (HASC) is dedicated to effectively advancing the interests of hospitals in Los Angeles, Orange, Riverside, San Bernardino, Santa Barbara and Ventura counties. We are comprised of over 181 hospitals and 40 health systems plus associate members and partner organizations all with a common goal: to improve the operating environment for hospitals and the health status of the communities they serve.
Working in concert with California Hospital Association (CHA), Hospital Council of Northern and Central California (Hospital Council), and Hospital Association of San Diego and Imperial Counties (HASD & IC), we provide leadership at the local, state and federal levels on legislation, budget concerns and regulatory issues. We work with county boards of supervisors, chambers of commerce, local department of health and other agencies to ensure the hospital’s voice is heard.
