Bill > H1136

This bill requires hospitals licensed by the Massachusetts Department of Public Health to conduct at least one public meeting annually. The meeting must be attended by the hospital's chief executive officer, the chairman of the hospital board of trustees, and at least 25% of the board members, who must be available to respond to questions from the public. The purpose of the meeting is to provide the community with information about the hospital's operations and to allow members of the public to raise concerns. The bill also outlines specific requirements for public notice of the meeting, including posting notices in the hospital, publishing in a local newspaper, and posting on the hospital's website.
