Advancing data sharing to improve the health of all Californians
Announcement: C4BH is now a nonprofit!
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.

Our vision of a health information exchange network
What patients and healthcare providers are saying
California voices: How would a health information exchange network impact you?
Anna R.
Patient Advocate
“Even though I am young and may look healthy, I have a serious preexisting condition—for which I have had to manage all my own complicated medical records. If I have a medical emergency and am unconscious, no one would know about my complicated history or how to get me back to health. All of this simply can’t be put on the patient.”
Hakeem A.
Medical Director, Sacramento Native American Health Center
“I had a patient who I saw last year who said ‘I had a stroke’. In my mind there are certain things I think the patient is going to need after having a stroke—I requested the records three or four different times and did not get them and waiting for those things meant three or four months that the patient wasn’t able to get those services. I still follow the patient and he still has limitations that I’m not convinced he would have had otherwise.”
