About
Welcome to SHIP – the Society for Healthcare Improvement Professionals!
We are a community of dedicated professionals committed to advancing healthcare performance improvement across Southern California. Founded in 2017, SHIP brings together individuals from diverse healthcare systems, creating opportunities for collaboration, learning, and professional growth.
After a brief pause during the COVID-19 pandemic, we’re thrilled to relaunch and reconnect with our members. Whether you're new to the field or a seasoned expert, we invite you to join us in shaping the future of healthcare in our region.
Together, we aim to foster innovation, share best practices, and drive meaningful change in healthcare delivery. Join us as we work to improve the quality of care, enhance patient outcomes, and support the professionals who make it all possible.
