Education and advocacy for California employers to deliver a health care system that improves outcomes, saves lives and lowers costs.
About CHCC
The California Health Care Coalition (CHCC) is a membership organization of public- and private-sector employers, unions and health and welfare trust funds, currently representing over 3 million Californians.
​
We organize group purchasers to engage health plans, hospitals and physician organizations in collaborative efforts to improve the quality, appropriateness and price of health care for everyone. Our educational effectiveness derives from health care purchasers joining together to leverage their collective voice to drive reform.
