The California Hospital Association Political Action Committee (CHPAC) is CHA’s political arm. Its purpose is to help elect candidates who understand the vital role hospitals play as part of the state’s health care system, and the positive impact hospitals have on the economy.

You can become an integral part of the elective process by joining CHPAC, which raises money to help elect, educate and build relationships with policymakers who care about the continued viability of hospitals in California. It is imperative to foster and maintain relationships with those who demonstrate support of our member hospitals. We also have a responsibility to educate those who might be unfamiliar with the unique challenges facing our industry.

The HASC region has set a fundraising target of $357,200 as part of a statewide effort to reach $1.1 million in campaign support. 

Please consider helping us meet this goal in the following ways:

• Make a personal contribution to CHPAC at the President’s or Gold Level.
• Appoint a CHPAC Campaign Coordinator.  It’s easy – we will do all the work to meet legal requirements.
• Educate your leadership about the importance of CHPAC.

We’d like to congratulate and thank employees of the following hospitals for already reaching, or surpassing, their CHPAC goals:

• Bear Valley Community Hospital
• Cedars-Sinai Medical Center
• Cedars-Sinai Marina Del Rey Hospital
• College Hospital Costa Mesa
• Community Memorial Hospital
• Hoag Memorial Hospital Presbyterian/Hoag Hospital Irvine
• JFK Memorial Hospital
• San Gorgonio Memorial Hospital

Support for CHPAC is entirely voluntary. CHPAC raises funds from individuals who, acting in their personal capacities and on their own time, wish to support CHPAC’s activities. CHPAC collects information from supporters regarding their employment solely for purposes of compliance with campaign finance disclosure rules (although it reserves the right to use that information to track sources of support, as well). CHPAC conducts its activities independently of any hospital, and the reference to any organization in connection with any CHPAC supporter is for identification purposes only and does not indicate endorsement by such organization of CHPAC or its activities.
