In articles as diverse as our membership — from rural to urban, and Sierra to sea — we spotlight the individuals and institutions who are moving the ball forward, while also sharing news on new ideas and innovative approaches from our endorsed business partners.
Community Health Needs Assessments
As part of its public advocacy efforts, the Hospital Council brings hospitals together to collaborate on community health needs assessments (CHNAs). Hospitals can be a catalyst to lead the community in addressing the most pressing health needs. The CHNAs provide a data-driven understanding of these needs, and empowering hospitals to form coalitions with community partners, government agencies, elected officials, civic groups and the media, to address and improve community-wide health issues.
Compensation & Employee Benefits Survey Reports
The Hospital Council Northern and Central California, the Hospital Association of Southern California (HASC) and the Hospital Association of San Diego and Imperial Counties (HASDIC) partner to offer hospitals tools needed to support the development of a strategic approach for managing and compensating a workforce that contributes to the success of the organization.
Among these tools is Salarity, a full-service platform for HR compensation, benefits and industry trends data that’s also used to produce the Allied for Health Compensation and Benefits Surveys.
