California Health Information Association (CHIA)

The California Health Information Association (CHIA) is the premier association of health information management professionals in California. CHIA members are dedicated to excellence in the management of personal health information required to deliver quality healthcare to the public. CHIA, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, was first established in 1949 and is the California state affiliate of the American Health Information Management Association  (AHIMA). CHIA ensures the personal and professional growth of our members and advances the health information management community through networking, education, shared knowledge, and advocacy.

Within CHIA, there are seven regions called Component Local Associations (CLAs). The CLAs provide networking and educational opportunities to members at the local level.

 

Founded in 2001, the San Diego Organization of Healthcare Leaders (SOHL) is an official combined chapter of the American College of Healthcare Executives (ACHE), an international professional society of more than 30,000 healthcare executives. SOHL offers an environment for continual growth and professional development, and building relationships among peers and industry leaders at the local level. Our members represent healthcare leaders in all sectors of the healthcare industry.
