Advocacy

Advancing High Quality Equitable Care

CAPH’s policy and advocacy agenda focuses on creating and sustaining state and federal policies and programs that promote high quality equitable health care and continuous quality improvement within California’s public health care systems, as well as the payment reforms that will help drive these efforts and ensure a more solid financial footing.

Our priorities reflect public health care systems’ longstanding commitment and expertise in caring for Medi-Cal beneficiaries and those individuals from historically marginalized communities who are most at-risk. We strive to create new policy opportunities that reflect our safety net mission and improve health equity.

The work of the California Health Care Safety Net Institute (SNI), CAPH’s affiliate and quality improvement partner, also informs our advocacy efforts.
