About Us

We provide the leadership, advocacy, training and tools that empower California's hospitals and health systems to do their best work. We represent 197 hospitals and health systems in 50 of California’s 58 counties, from Kern County to the Oregon border. Hospital Council’s membership includes hospitals and health systems ranging from small, rural hospitals to large, urban medical centers, representing more than 37,000 licensed beds.
To improve the health status of the communities our member hospitals serve, the Hospital Council fosters collaboration between our members and community stakeholders to find solutions to promote good health and high-quality care services.

Hospital Council also provides a broad range of services to support member hospital manage the delivery of care in their communities. Services include cost effective projects, education programs, publications and the fostering of relationships with vendors who offer products or services that help health care facilities avoid costs, recover revenue, and reduce operating and capital expenses.
