HCCSC offers regular educational webinars to its members.

We also make these webinars available to our members online, so they can view them at any time.
Membership with HCCSC comes with several opportunities to be recognized for your work achievements along with those of other local healthcare communications professionals who you feel are the best in their field. Members can submit entries within 40+ categories and are acknowledged at our annual Finest Awards banquet. Gold, Silver, and Bronze awards are distributed in public relations, digital marketing, writing, collateral and special events.
HCCSC is proud to recognize success in the field of communications by presenting one or more students with a scholarship for their passion for health care.
In conjunction with AMN Healthcare, the title sponsor of the annual Finest Awards, high school seniors and college students currently enrolled in a San Diego, Orange County and Los Angeles school district who plan to enter the field of health care upon graduation are invited to submit an application for the opportunity to win this scholarship, courtesy of AMN Healthcare. The winner(s) are also recognized at the annual Finest Awards event, alongside the health care industry's leading communications professionals. Click here to learn more and to apply.
Have a Question, a New Idea, or just simply want to Brainstorm. The new myHCCSC is the perfect place to have your questions answered or commented on by your healthcare peers. This virtual forum will enhance your knowledge base by allowing you to tap into and share ideas with other healthcare leaders from the Southern California area.
HCCSC has partnered with the Society for Healthcare Strategy & Market Development (SHSMD) to become an affiliated chapter of their organization. Which means all HCCSC members gain additional benefits!
By partnering with SHSMD, we are able to provide members with even more educational tools throughout the year. Members receive email updates from SHSMD, keeping them informed on events that are coming up, along with additional educational opportunities. Check out what SHSMD has to offer at shsmd.org.
