The California Department of Health Care Access and Information (HCAI) is conducting a statewide stakeholder engagement effort to better understand the factors affecting health care access and service stability throughout California.
Why is HCAI conducting this survey?
In the 2026 Budget Act, the California Legislature appropriated funding for HCAI to establish the Healthcare Access Stability Unit (HASU) to evaluate health care access risks, support early identification of service disruptions, and coordinate strategies to help preserve access to care across California.
