Bill > SCR71

This resolution designates the week of May 11-17, 2025, as National Hospital Week in California, highlighting the critical role hospitals play in the state's healthcare system and broader community. The resolution recognizes California's 450+ hospitals as essential institutions that provide life-saving and life-changing care, treating one in four Californians annually, including 15 million emergency department visits and 400,000 annual baby deliveries. It emphasizes hospitals' significant economic impact, generating one million jobs and $300 billion in economic output, and their crucial role in supporting vulnerable populations through disease prevention, wellness programs, and charity care. The resolution also acknowledges hospitals' broader contributions, such as being safe havens during natural disasters and key partners in the healthcare ecosystem, and celebrates their role in contributing to California's fourth-highest national life expectancy. The final section instructs the Secretary of the Senate to distribute copies of the resolution for appropriate recognition and awareness.
