Southern California Hospital Council Honored by President

The Hospital Council of Southern California recently received an award from President Ronald Reagan for outstanding private sector initiative. The council was one of 100 organizations recognized by the President for their efforts in finding private solutions to critical social problems. The council was the only health care-related organization in the Western United States so honored.

The council was honored for its contributions to the “Health for Life” exhibit at the California Museum of Science and Industry. The council’s Hospital Educational Foundation united volunteer efforts by 26 Southern California-based sponsors to help create the exhibit.
