ABOUT CAPH/SNI

The California Association of Public Hospitals and Health Systems (CAPH) represents the state's 17 public health care systems, which form the core of the state's health care safety net. As a trade association, CAPH works to advance policies that strengthen the capacity of its members to ensure access to comprehensive, high-quality, culturally sensitive health care services for all Californians, regardless of insurance status, ability to pay, or other circumstance, and to educate the next generation of health care professionals. These efforts are strongly informed by, and take place alongside, the work of the California Health Care Safety Net Institute (SNI), the 501c3 affiliate of CAPH. California's 17 member systems primarily serve individuals from historically marginalized communities, including persons of color, individuals experiencing financial hardship or homelessness, and individuals with complex social and medical needs. Although CAPH and SNI are separate legal entities, they function day-to-day as a matrix organization, with the two organizations working closely together to achieve shared goals for our member systems.
