BACKGROUND INFORMATION
On March 22, 1994, the Board of Supervisors established the JCC to serve as a communication mechanism between the Board of Supervisors (Board) as the governing body of Arrowhead Regional Medical Center (ARMC) and the medical staff of ARMC.
Following a comprehensive review, ARMC determined that the JCC meeting minutes from September 25, 2024 were not presented to the Board due to an oversight. ARMC is submitting the minutes for Board approval to resolve the discrepancy and maintain accurate records.
On September 25, 2024 and December 18, 2025, JCC meetings were held. The minutes from these meetings were approved by the JCC Members at the meeting held on December 19, 2024 and March 5, 2026, respectively, which are now presented to the Board for approval.
Pursuant to Health and Safety Code section 1461, reports of hospital audit or quality assurance committees may be ordered to be held in closed session. Documents pertaining to the closed session portion of the JCC meeting are available for review by the Board, but shall otherwise be maintained as confidential by the Clerk of the Board pursuant to Evidence Code section 1157 et seq.
PROCUREMENT
Not applicable.
