Dear CAHL Members,
I’m thrilled to extend a personal invitation to you for our second annual CAHL Congress 2025, a one-day conference taking place on Wednesday, October 29, 2025, at the DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel in Sacramento.
Following the incredible success of last year’s event, our chapter is excited to build on that momentum and deliver an even more impactful experience in 2025. CAHL Congress 2025 will bring together healthcare leaders from across Northern and Central California for a full day of thought-provoking, high-impact ACHE In-Person Education sessions. Attendees will have the opportunity to earn up to 6 ACHE In-Person Education credits, an invaluable investment in your professional growth.
We’re curating an outstanding roster of panelists who are recognized experts in their fields, bringing deep insight and proven experience to today’s most pressing healthcare challenges. Speaker announcements are coming soon and you won’t want to miss who’s taking the stage.
