District Transparency
What are Healthcare Districts? Healthcare Districts are public entities that provide community-based health care services to residents throughout the state. They respond to the needs in their District by providing a range of services, which may include:
- Hospitals and clinics
- Skilled nursing facilities
- Emergency medical services
- 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.
Want to know more about how local healthcare districts contribute to your community? Visit the Association of California Healthcare Districts website to explore their initiatives, resources, and the vital role they play in California’s healthcare system.
