Alameda Health System.

Existing law authorizes the board of supervisors of Alameda County to establish an independent hospital authority strictly and exclusively dedicated to the management, administration, and control of the group of public hospitals, clinics, and programs that comprise the Alameda County Medical Center. This bill would instead authorize the board to establish an independent hospital authority for the Alameda Health System, which was formerly known as the Alameda County Medical Center. The bill would make conforming changes with regard to legislative findings and declarations and would include additional legislative findings and declarations relating to the Alameda Health System. The bill would also make other conforming changes in existing law.
