About

The Hospital Council of Northern and Central California is a nonprofit hospital and health system trade association established in 1961, representing 185 hospitals in 50 of California’s 58 counties—from Kern County to the Oregon border. The Hospital Council’s membership includes hospitals and health systems ranging from small, rural hospitals to large, urban medical centers, representing more than 38,000 licensed beds. The Hospital Council of Northern and Central California’s Mission is to help our members to provide high quality health care and to improve the health status of the communities they serve. We bring hospitals together to achieve excellent patient care and community health far beyond the capacity of individual hospitals. Also the Hospital Council works in partnership with CHA to influence state and federal legislation and regulatory issues.
