Priorities

Advancing Policy & Advocacy

California’s 17 public health care systems provide a disproportionate share of the state’s Medi-Cal and uninsured care and serve as the core of California’s health care safety net.

CAPH advances state and federal policy, financing and operational strategies that strengthen the ability of public health care systems to deliver high-quality, equitable care in communities across California.

As public health care systems face growing financial pressure, workforce challenges and major changes to Medi-Cal, CAPH’s work is focused on protecting access to care, advancing delivery system transformation and ensuring the long-term stability of the safety net.
