In two weeks, we’ll come together for the 2025 HASD&IC Annual Meeting — a gathering for hospital leaders, policymakers, and community partners to discuss some of the most pressing issues facing our hospitals and health systems. This annual meeting is not only a valuable opportunity to hear from local leaders and policy experts, but also a chance to gain new insights, find inspiration, and prepare for what lies ahead.
This year’s program offers a range of sessions designed to inform and inspire:
- Supervisor Paloma Aguirre will present on the Tijuana River Pollution Crisis — an exclusive opportunity for attendees to learn about the public health implications of a regional crisis.
- Panel discussions will examine the financial uncertainty facing hospitals, regional behavioral health care issues, and key federal and state policy challenges.
- Renowned poet and entrepreneur Tucker Bryant will share how storytelling can help us think innovatively and inspire meaningful change.
- Our Community Leadership Awards will highlight the exceptional work of local leaders who work tirelessly every day to uplift our communities.
The work of our hospitals and community partners goes beyond this meeting. As the federal government shutdown continues and hospitals grapple with the significant impacts resulting from OBBBA, it has never been more important for us to stay connected, informed, and learn from one another. No matter what draws you to our annual meeting, we hope that there is something that will resonate with each of you. Please consider joining us and being a part of the conversation to shape the future of health care.
As we close out the year, it’s critical that we stay focused on our mission to care for patients and uplift our communities — no matter the challenges ahead. We hope the 2025 HASD&IC Annual Meeting offers you a respite from the ongoing storm — a chance to come together, share knowledge, and remember that no hospital or health system faces these challenges alone.
