Advancing data sharing to improve the health of all Californians
Connecting for Better Health (C4BH) provides a forum for members to discuss policy developments, share the latest evidence, and develop a collective outlook to advance data sharing in California. We organize panels for industry events, develop educational materials, and advocate for sound state and federal policy.
Founded in 2021, C4BH is a coalition of providers, caregivers, health plans, patient advocates, innovators, and community based organizations. We strive to improve the state’s data sharing infrastructure with a goal of transforming health and social outcomes for all Californians.
In November 2023, C4BH became incorporated as a nonprofit to expand our leadership team with a board of directors and to grow the reach our advocacy and education work.
