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.
On December 16, 2025 (Item No. 14), the Board accepted the JCC meeting minutes for June 5, 2025 at the JCC meeting held on September 25, 2025. However, the meeting minutes and supporting documents presented were for the September 25, 2025 meeting instead of the June 5, 2025 meeting. As a result, ARMC is requesting to rescind Item No. 14 from the December 16, 2025 meeting in its entirety and approve the June 5, 2025 meeting minutes as part of Recommendation No. 2 with the appropriate supporting documents attached to this item.
On June 5, 2025 and September 15, 2025, JCC meetings were held. The minutes from these meetings were approved by the JCC Members at the meetings held on September 15, 2025 and December 18, 2025, 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.
