Los Angeles, CA – On December 7, 2017, local healthcare leaders, executives, and healthcare administration students gathered at The California Endowment for HCE’s 2017 Annual Conference “Roller Coaster of Healthcare Reform in 2017”. Almost 200 participants gathered to hear panel discussions on:
- the impact of healthcare policy reform to the communities and health systems
- programs across the continuum of care
- leveraging IT to support transitions of care, and
- driving the patient experience in organizational culture
Break-out sessions for early careerists and resume review were well attended. Also, an instructional break-out session called “Stop the Bleed” was added to educate community responders on basic hemorrhage control. The session was generously sponsored and facilitated by Cedars-Sinai Medical Center.
During the annual lunch meeting, Harry Sax, MD, FACHE (left of picture) thanked the outgoing board of directors for their year of service, and incoming president Victor Carrasco, FACHE (right of picture) introduced the 2018 Board of Directors. ACHE Regent for California – Southern Ellen Zaman, FACHE, briefed the audience on ACHE news and presented the Regent’s Awards. The awards were given to two early careerists and two senior-level executives who have demonstrated leadership ability, innovative and creative management, and capacity in developing their organization and promoting its growth and stature in the community.
