Hospital Association of San Diego and Imperial Counties

The association represents 38 hospitals and integrated health systems across San Diego and Imperial counties, from small rural hospitals to large urban medical centers. It advances member hospitals' interests and provides policy direction through a board representing all member sectors. Its work includes advocacy on hospital and patient issues, with focus areas such as health care affordability, rural health care, behavioral health, workforce, Medi-Cal, and ambulance patient offload time. Members represent more than 8,600 licensed beds in the two-county region. The organization has served the region since 1956. Its work centers on hospitals and health systems, rather than direct patient care or individual social services.
