Hospital finance is complicated, and California hospitals operate in a challenging environment. Hospital executives are faced with the task of developing financial strategies that contain costs yet allow for the provision of health care to the state’s large uninsured population.

California hospitals operate in one of the nation’s most competitive environments, while managing some of the most difficult pressures, including labor costs, technology advancements and building upgrades to meet mandated seismic standards.
