California associations establish fire relief fund for hospital workers
The California Hospital Association and its regional partners have established a Hospital Workers’ Fire Relief Fund to help the more than 100 hospital employees affected by the recent wildfires in the state. The state and regional associations in California will donate $40,000 to the fund and encourage additional donations from hospitals, hospital employees and other organizations through Oct. 31. AHA also has donated to the fund. All donations will be disbursed to hospitals that request assistance for their affected employees. For more information or to donate, click here.
