Association of California Healthcare Districts (ACHD)
ACHD works with numerous state and local entities to promote the profound role Healthcare Districts play in responding to the specialized health needs of tens of millions of Californians while also having direct accountability to the communities that Districts serve.
“Healthcare districts are public entities that provide community-based healthcare services to residents throughout the state. They respond to the needs in their district by providing a range of services, which may include a hospital, clinic, skilled nursing facility or emergency medical services; as well as education and wellness programs. Each of California's healthcare districts is governed by a locally elected Board of Trustees who are directly accountable to the communities they serve.”
