The District Hospital Leadership Forum (DHLF) represents a large group of district hospitals throughout California. DHLF originated from the efforts of a number of public District hospital Executive teams in an effort to address financial issues of importance related to public District hospitals.

DHLF members are focused on putting together transformation plans as part of their participation in the Public Hospital Redesign and Incentives in Medi-Cal (PRIME) Program, which is part of Medi-Cal 2020, the state’s 1115 waiver, which was approved December 31, 2015. Further information on this program and the waiver in general are included here.

As you know, the Senate currently is working to try to pass a ACA repeal bill with the vote likely occurring when Congress returns from the Fourth of July recess. Both California Senators will oppose the legislation and are working with health care industry leaders in California on a strategy to reach out to our colleagues and friends/family in targeted states to encourage Senator’s from those states to vote against the bill.
