Southern California hospitals are in the news. We are constantly reminded of the impact that our hospitals have on our communities. Health care is a critical part of our infrastructure and affects every person, at every level in our communities. The luncheon event honors the outstanding commitments and achievements of healthcare professionals; the men and women who work tirelessly to ensure that the needs of our communities are met. Hospitals are the front lines of care within our society and are committed to providing life saving services to millions of people every day.
